    Muscular is a very good description of her writing, particularly in Mammoth. Great review.

      @@spreadbookjoy she's the sort of writer one can get obsessed by I think. Odd but satisfying.

    Catalan - my goodness, I had to look that one up. I enjoyed the descriptive segments that you chose to read and the subject matter may be striking a very personal emotional nerve - ok, you convinced me - I shall look out for Eva Baltasar on my next visit to my local bookstore.

    I hope to get to this soon! Like you I loved Boulder, though I didn’t like Permafrost quite so much - so from what you say I think Boulder is going to be the best one. Last summer I saw all three were now in a single volume in Catalan.

      ​@@scallydandlingaboutthebooksI should have watched the review because....animals. 😕 I am a big fan of Boulder but this one was a struggle in the second half. I do agree that "muscular" and "visceral" are good descriptions of her style.

    I'm looking forward to reading all three, between your enjoyment of Baltasar's style and comments JoSmith made last month, I know I'll enjoy them. Thanks for the trigger warning.
