Learning to Lose

David Trueba · 2008 CE · Novel · Spanish · Contemporary

One Madrid year follows four connected lives: a sixteen-year-old girl, an Argentine footballer brought to a Spanish club, her widowed father, and her grandfather. It won the Premio de la Critica. Trueba's novel works by cross-cutting among them rather than by a single plot.
