Notes:
"This novel (by Manuel Vicent) tells the stories of a man and a woman, who are both mysteriously washed onto a Mediterranean shore dressed in wedding clothes. Vicent creates a unique and exuberant landscape of genuine love, in which even potentially grim details become part of a constant fiesta. His work, which recalls that of García Márquez, skillfully blends comedy, romance and tragedy"
