Book Overview
An explosive novel which pits fathers against daughters and duty against desire. Straight talking and fiery, Mimoun's daughter is everything he wishes she weren't. When he leaves Morocco for Catalonia, he wants to improve his own life without allowing Western culture to affect his wife or children at all. He expects them to stay in Morocco, while he enjoys the sophistication and freedom of Barcelona. His plans are thrown into disarray when his family insists on joining him in Catalonia. Things get much worse when his daughter starts reading the dictionary, and taking on the Catalonians at their own language... The Last Patriarch, a bestseller when published in 2008, was awarded the most prestigious Catalan literary prize, the Ramon Llull. It has been translated into all the major European languages and also won the Prix Ulysse, France.
