"This warming story will capture your heart until the very end" Essentials Magazine
A little boy and his grandfather embark on a quest to find the old man's missing birthday in Diana Rosie's debut novel, Alberto's Lost Birthday.
As a child, Alberto lost his birthday in the Spanish civil war. Now an old man living a simple life, he rarely thinks about his disappeared past.
But when his grandson discovers his Apu has never had a birthday party, never blown out candles on a birthday cake, and never received a single card or present, he's determined to do something about it.
As the two set off to find Alberto's birthday, they have no idea it will be a journey that takes them through Spain's troubled past, to places - and people - that Alberto once knew.
But in a country that has vowed to move forward, looking back can be difficult. Will they be able to find the memories they're searching for?
PRAISE FOR ALBERTO'S LOST BIRTHDAY
"Moving, thoughtful and absorbing . . . Alberto's Lost Birthday reminds us of the importance of home and the peace that comes with knowing who we truly are" Mail on Sunday Event Magazine
