Review:
Magnificent . . . Peter Bush and MacLehose Press have done a great service in reviving this Catalan classic (Maya Jaggi Guardian)
Wonderfully readable . . . Uncertain Glory is a major novel that expresses the disillusion of a generation who fought a just war against fascism, but lost their idealism and youth (Michael Eaude Literary Review)
A masterwork that will seduce anew with its passion, humour, pathos and the all too-human spats of anger (Eileen Battersby Irish Times)
In this bravura novel of the Spanish Civil War 1936-39, Catalan author Joan Sales evokes its messy, devastating lived reality, but even more memorably the intense feeling of being alive which war paradoxically produces... at the novel's core is a group of young 'voices', brilliantly rendered, as they rage to live (History Today)
Philosophical and earthy, tragic and funny, honest, raw, superb: Sales makes Hemingway seem thin, even anemic, in comparison. This book is a rich and highly recommended feast. (Kirkus (Best Fiction of 2017))
