Romance
A fiendishly fun and charming novel echoing the quirky works
of brilliant director Pedro Almodóvar, The Altogether
Unexpected Disappearance of Atticus Craftsman follows an
uptight Englishman who is sent to Madrid to close a literary
magazine and the five fiery, close-knit Spanish women who
must devise a plan in order to keep the jobs they
love.
Atticus Craftsman never travels without a
supply of Earl Grey, an electric kettle, and a teacup—so he
makes sure he has packed all three after his father,
distinguished publisher of Craftsman & Co., sends him to
Madrid to shut down a failing literary magazine,
Librarte. But when nobody has heard from him in three
months, his father knows something must be very wrong.
Fortunately, Inspector Manchego is on the case. Manchego
gets to work unraveling the mystery of the Englishman’s
disappearance, but there to block him at every turn are the
five fiery and close-knit Spanish women who run
Librarte and who will do anything to keep their jobs.
From a kidnapping to the “discovery” of the long-lost poems
of Federico García Lorca, Manchego and Atticus are taken on
a madcap journey through the narrow streets of Madrid and
down to the bohemian heart of Andalucía.
A charming
tale with linguistic mishaps, literary intrigue, a clash of
cultures, and an unexpected romance, The Altogether
Unexpected Disappearance of Atticus Craftsman is at once
a humorous literary caper and a touching love story, making
for an altogether clever and delightfully different read.
