Patrice Chaplin llegó a Gerona a los quince años en el curso de una escapada de su vida burguesa en Gran Bretaña. Allí conoció a un hombre y a pesar de que la atracción mutua fue instantánea la historia de amor se redujo a encuentros intermitentes. Así Patrice quedó atada de por vida a un hombre a una ciudad Gerona y al secreto de la custodia del Santo Grial que por tradición familiar le fue encomendada al hombre que ella amó.En este libro de memorias Patrice Chaplin cuenta esta historia de amor y sobre todo construye un homenaje a un hombre y sus trabajos en pro de la investigación de la historia cultural de Gerona sobre todo la de su barrio judío la edad dorada de los cabalistas gerundenses y en último extremo su vinculación a la custodia del secreto del Santo Grial que según revelaciones íntimas de él se guarda en la ciudad de Gerona… (mais)

A worrying modern story of possession and Jack the Ripper.
Connie seems to be having hallucinations after a visit to a nightclub.......
The ending is quite unexpected and shocking.
It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Great story.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Endeavour via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not effect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

I'm honestly not entirely sure how I feel about this book. I didn't hate it, but I don't think I liked it either. I originally wanted to read it because of the tagline, Jack the Ripper has returned. But the main focus came across as four relatively unlikable characters (Connie, Daniel, Mark, and Jane), one of whom starts randomly having intense flashbacks to life during Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, all seemingly tied to a magician visited during a birthday party.

I really wanted to like this, but I really only finished it because it was so short, and because I kept hoping it would live up to its promise. But everything was so vague, the ending so abrupt, and the characters (particularly Jane) so hard to root for, that I was glad when it was over (even with the sudden and unresolved ending).
