Product Description
Review
'The country's living national treasure These and other tales add up to a powerful indictment of the unhappiness caused by family life The stories overflow with the kind of insights that only maturity brings. They are also painfully topical Fuentes keeps his finger on modern Mexico's pulse' Angel Gurria-Quintana, Financial Times 'Fuentes, now 80, is still masterful in evoking the lives of damaged characters beautifully observed a book seething with timeless rancour' Independent 'There are moments of dry humour, intense beauty and startling emotion in his books, Happy Families included, distilled from an extraordinary and at times tragic life Happy Families is Fuentes's twisted lullaby.' Siobhan Murphy, Metro 'What makes this book doubly and triply beguiling, beyond the challenging storytelling and stylistics, is our feeling that Fuentes is trying, yet only implicitly and subtly, to probe deeper into this malaise This is an exacting literary journey. But there are, as always, magic and poetry in Fuentes' prose (not overlooking the very accomplished and natural translation of it by Edith Grossman) that make the journey worthwhile.' Andrew Staffell, The Times
Review
PRAISE FOR 'THE EAGLE'S THRONE' '[Fuentes] writes with an energy, passion and humour that are as compelling now as when he first published a novel, more than forty years ago ... rattlingly good entertainment' Daily Telegraph 'Fuentes at his satirical best, mixing political wisdom, biting wit and poignant self-realisation' Scotland on Sunday 'Smashing ... the most wickedly entertaining novel of Fuentes's career ... elegant and funny ... brilliant' New York Times

Not the easiest of reads by any means and somewhat dyspeptic but the sense of family life/strife is strong.
