Far is a dark, satirical, very Spanish love story with echoes of Claudia Piñeiro and JG Ballard,” Sam Jones, The Guardian
Check out the BookBlast Diary review of FAR by Rosa Ribas @foundryeditions.bsky.social

Far by Rosa Ribas @FoundryEditions is our book club choice for this month. Join us @Hatchards Piccadilly 12/1 at 6pm to discuss how it is compulsively readable, with its hallucinatory landscape, fragmented world, simmering violence, oddball love story https://t.co/Dt5SFPtmk2
