«El Llibre de les Mosques» is the literary novel by Emili Teixidor, published by Proa in paperback (400 pages, in Catalan).
A young teacher arrives in a village where several girls have died under strange circumstances. While safeguarding documents sought by the Vatican, she becomes entangled in the secret of the Llibre de les Mosques, so named for the revulsion it caused its furtive readers. Spanning half a century, it explores fear, transgression, and evil.
The work won the Premi Sant Jordi in 1999 and belongs to the A TOT VENT collection, published by Proa.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and contemporary fiction seeking an intrigue with historical depth.
