Book Review ā The Perfect Circle by Claudia Petrucci, translated by Anne Milano AppelĀ @WorldEdBooks
About the Book In the round house on Via Saterna, its Palladian square exterior nothing but a trompe-lāoeil, the sun pierces through the central skylight. Its rays pass three floors unobstructed, before reaching the circle below at the heart of the house: four fingers of water filling a little silver basin. It is here that young Lidia dies, setting an end to her clandestine love affair with the ambitious architect.

All That Dies in April is a roadless road novel told in short chapters like clockwork from 3 different perspectives. A Hay Festival Book Club selection, this is a suspenseful ancestral tale rooted in a Latin American history of rural displacement and perpetual inequality.
