Lost Luggage by Jordi Punti
Christof, Christophe, Christopher and Cristofol are four brothers - sons of the same father and four very different mothers, yet none of them knows of the others' existence. When they learn that their father has been declared missing, they come together for the first time and attempt to reconstruct his life.
An ingenious creation.. alert to the sheer untidiness of life.
Inventive, absorbing and beautifully written. * Daily Mail *
An outstanding read. * Daily Express *
An astonishing literary artefact. Marvellous. * El Mundo *
An utterly absorbing tale of family, friendship, love and loss. * Easy Living *
Punti is a sprightly writer, delighting in taking us down byways and through backwaters as the novel circles Gabriel's disappearance. * Financial Times *
More than once it feels as though you could be in a Barcelona bar, listening to a friend indulge in a series of Rioja-fuelled anecdotes. * The Times *
It's the combination of straight-down-the-line storytelling with Jordi's ingenious inflections in the language and structure that make Lost Luggage feel so rebellious. * Dazed&Confused *
