'Two things happen', says essayist and literary critic Nadal Suau in his review of Sara Barquinero's 'Los Escorpiones:' the first is that I applaud it.

The second, that whether or not it convinces everyone (consensus, what a suspicious destiny for a work of literature), its solidity is impossible to ignore". This is how forceful the expert feels about the new work of the writer from Zaragoza, an 800-page tome where the least important thing is its thickness, and the most important thing is its literary quality. A novel of novels destined for inevitable success.
