'Invisible Mending by Guillermo Montero is in that category of great novels that know how to move us, refocusing the way we look at ourselves. He is able to narrate in impeccable language an incident, the story of The Violet House, where Vera and Victor will meet in a remote town, with its before and after. Mending involves repairing a piece of broken cloth; when this traceless task is completed, the mystery of Esperanza Station will open up, changing the protagonists forever. After reading Invisible Mending, something similar will happen to us: we won't be the same.'- Liliana Diaz Mindurry, author of Summertime, Lo indecible, and 1998 winner of the Planeta Novel Prize for Pequena musica nocturna'This is a marvellous novel. How well Montero manages his trade, suspending the tale at a culminating moment when the two protagonists meet at The Violet House, giving the story a kaleidoscopic turn that takes us to another time told by other voices in the narrative. The dialogues are magnificent, the writing mature, as well as the tone, the narrative rhythm, the handling of the plot and the creation of atmosphere. It is a pleasure to find a novel like this at an age when, as Verlaine said when he was fifty, the flesh is sad and all the books have already been read.'- Luis Landero, author of Caballeros de Fortuna, El Guitarrista, and 1990 winner of the Spain National Novel Prize for Juegos de la edad tardia
