Us with Us

Us with Us a brilliantly insightful travel book that's much more of a memoir of the writer's year in Cadaqués, the Catalonian coastal village. I enjoyed the structure as much as the writing – the diary entries, angry restaurant reviews, the text messages, the history and rumours. All of this set against the political background of the Catalan independence movement. It's funny, poignant, well-written and, basically, a joy to read.
