Spained: Making sense of life in 90´s Madrid

Secret Kingdoms is delighted to welcome author Joe Rossiter for the launch of “Spained” at The Secret Kingdoms.

Finally, Phil’s life in Madrid is falling into place: the dream job, the colourful drinking buddies, a clear path. Then his old friend-with-benefits shows up and disrupts everything after a summer affair with a bullfighter ends in tragedy.

She is soon followed by an old flame, the woman who brought him to Spain in the first place.

Caught between two women in a savage week of hedonism, stretching from the Spanish capital to Toledo and Marbella, Phil will have to keep it together if he wants to realise his ultimate dream.

Spained is a visceral novel, a story that plunges you into wild Spanish days and nights, where lost, broken people try to make sense of it all.

Joe will read from the book and discuss how it draws on his own life an expat in Madrid in the wild 1990s.

Drinks and snacks will also be served. Whilst the event is free, places are limited. Please reserve via buying a 3€ voucher. This can be redeemed in store on the night.
