Product details

Paper House by Carlos María Domínguez... In 1998, university professor Pluma Lennon collapsed at a crossroads and died. A copy of Joseph Conrad's Shadowline, adorned with a cryptic dedication and cemented edges, arrives at the hands of one of Pluma's colleagues. He begins an investigation that takes him from Cambridge to Uruguay in search of the identity and fate of a mysterious and devoted book lover. The novel has been translated into 24 languages. Literary critic Miranda France wrote in The Telegraph: "This is a compelling cautionary tale about the dangers of owning too many books."
