A mesmerising and haunting masterpiece, Death in Spring weaves a tapestry of beauty and unease. This extraordinary tale follows a young lad's journey into adulthood in a secluded Catalan mountain village, cut off from the world beyond. Here, barbaric traditions reign supreme, and any whisper of rebellion is swiftly silenced.

Upon the passing of his father, our protagonist must navigate the treacherous waters of this oppressive society alone. He grapples with the suffocating conformity that permeates every aspect of village life, learning to carve out his own path amidst the stifling atmosphere.

Often interpreted as a metaphor for life under authoritarian rule, Death in Spring is a bewitching and disquieting exploration of power, exile, and the flicker of hope that persists even in the face of overwhelming oppression. Rodoreda's prose is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, celebrating even the smallest acts of independence in a world that seeks to crush individuality.

Merce Rodoreda's artistry shines through in this captivating work, which has enthralled literary giants and contemporary authors alike. A true gem of Catalan literature, Death in Spring will surprise, subvert, and ultimately leave you spellbound.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
