It’s not that often where a book sneaks up on you and unexpectedly leaves you enthralled, staggered and completely bowled over. Step forward Brickmakers. I’ve been trying to read as diversely and widely as possible and have recently acquired a great little pile of translated fiction (this particular novel translated by Annie McDermott). Brickmakers was the first book I read from @charcopress I read it with the gorgeous @keeperofpages and now, quite frankly, I’m obsessed.⁣ ⁣ This short but impactful novel by Argentine writer Selva Almada starts in an amusement park where two young men are dying after having faced off in a knife fight. Both men, Pájaro and Marciano are visited by the spirits of their fathers, both brickmakers who have had a long-standing feud. Through the young men’s visions, we also re-visit the pivotal events that led them to this point in their lives. ⁣ ⁣ When I finished this book to be honest, I was kind of speechless. The power, the intensity and the heightened emotions really shone through the narrative and I was gripped immediately, desperate to keep turning the pages. This is the sort of novel that has a lasting effect and if it sounds intriguing to you, please don’t seek out detailed reviews, the beauty of Brickmakers is knowing very little before you dive in. ⁣ ⁣ This is an incredible, jaw dropping piece of fiction that only proves why I should keep picking books up on a whim, knowing very little about them. Thank you to my gut instinct for picking one of my favourite books of this year!⁣ ⁣ Five perfect stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⁣ #bookstagram #bookreview #brickmakers #selvaalmada #argentinefiction #anniemcdermott #charcopress #booksintranslation #readmoretranslatedbooks #readmoretranslations #bookoftheyear2022 #unforgettablereads #latinamericanfiction #booksiwanttoreadagain #favouritebooks2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CkboCySrWBG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
