A Clean Slate

A guy visits Barcelona and subsequently decides that this (beautiful, art-filled, amazing, dancing) city should be his new home. Highly improbable. I mean, really, would anyone just stop what they are doing, take a risk to travel, and then make life decisions which would radically change the course of their lives? Inconceivable. Well, maybe not.

The author, who incidentally has a love of first edition works, takes the experience as a fresh start. He rids his life of the unnecessary and then finally the not so necessary if it means one can live longer in Barcelona...and so it begins.

Okay, so perhaps I identify with the character a bit. Needless to type, I have enjoyed the first few chapters of the book.
