It Was Spring in Winter
Set between Barcelona, Montreal, and Fintona, a small town in Northern Ireland, It Was Spring in Winter tells the story of Laia, a woman from Barcelona in her early forties, and Bob, an Irish doctor in his eighties, who meet on a flight from Amsterdam to Montreal. What could have been a completely forgettable coincidence—a long conversation while crossing the Atlantic at ten thousand meters above sea level, seated next to each other by chance—turns into an unexpected life experience and the beginning of a story that, against all odds, defies clichés and prejudice.
This novel is about the unpredictability of love, exploring the depth and simplicity of connections between people, regardless of age, culture, or life experiences. It Was Spring in Winter is a profound, intense, honest and life-changing love story.

Reviews
"There is a profound sensitivity in Eulàlia Comas' style that allows for a narrative of extreme simplicity combined with great depth, exploring such classic themes as the relationship between two human beings. Despite leading very different and complicated lives, and facing challenges such as an age gap and geographical distance, they manage to cultivate a flourishing bond of affection that slowly reveals its true name. The dialogues are straightforward and imbued with a living truth, the experiential perspectives are striking, the relationships are original and unique, and the storytelling is guided by intuition, demonstrating a set of elective affinities filled with unpredictability, uncertainty, and intrigue." Biel Mesquida, Diario de Mallorca
