kalikabali's review
2.0
The premise of the book is quite interesting and it is billed as a "literary thriller". I enjoyed the story, especially the memoirs of the neoclassical Italian Architect. But the mystery ("why did all work on the new city planned by Charles III stop abruptly? What and where was 'THE Tiepolo'? Who was Emili's father?") in the end wasn't very thrilling and was fairly obvious. The Invisible City won one of the most prestigious literary prizes in the Catalan language in 2004, so my expectations were high I guess.
