By Night the Mountain Burns by Juan Tomás Ávila Laurel

4.0

I loved this book, written as if being told aloud to a third person. I could feel the narrator being dragged back to his childhood and the confusion he felt during a particularly horrific period on the island; a totally evocative tale capturing the setting, the way of life of the islanders and the weird way kids see things. Brilliant!
