«Lo demás es aire» is the contemporary and historical novel by Juan Gómez Bárcena, published by Seix Barral in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
A couple expects a child in Toñanes, a Cantabrian village; in that same village, the plot jumps to other eras: a woman learns to write in secret, neighbors hide in a cave, a boy finds an ammonite. It spans centuries of its inhabitants' lives to trace the emotional biography of a community and a country.
Published in the Biblioteca Breve collection, it received the Ciutat de Barcelona Prize for Literature.
For reading clubs and readers of literary fiction, family sagas and current Spanish narrative.
