If there is something I had an abundance of growing up—amongst many other things—it was books.
Both my mum and dad have always been avid readers, and from a young age, I began to devour novels and other literature. From Catalan and Spanish authors like Eduardo Mendoza, Manuel de Pedrolo and Mercè Rodoreda to the great Anne Rice, Ken Follett, and John Irving to name a few, I developed a love for words, languages, and narratives.
