I read this book after I went to Spain. The events in this book take place in Ronda and feature a bridge which I saw on my trip.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, mostly because it's about painting. The Forgetting Room is the room where the narrator and his grandfather before him would enter to become absorbed in their art. Painting is used as a form of escape. I think anyone who paints can relate to the feeling. I forget sometimes how much I love painting, and after reading this book I was reminded of how much I love falling into a painting. It's never about the finished product, but rather the process of creating the work.
This is a nice book, complete with some beautiful illustrations.
