Book Description

Punto de Lectura September 1, 2001
Set in the dark days of the Spanish Civil War, The Carpenter's Pencil charts the linked destinies of Dr. Daniel Da Barca, Herbal, and of the unnamed painter with the carpenter's pencil. The Carpenter's Pencil was a bestseller in Spain and has been published in various languages.

Blurb in Spanish:
En la cárcel de Santiago de Compostela, en plena Guerra Civil, un pintor dibuja el Pórtico de la Gloria con un lápiz de carpintero, reflejando los rostros... y aún más, la desesperación de sus compañeros de presidio. Un guardián, su futuro asesino, lo observa todo. A partir de esa escena, el «lápiz» de Manuel Rivas hilvana una historia donde el amor logra vencer la desesperanza.
