When Roser Caminals was ten years old her family moved to a neighborhood of grid-patterned streets lined with trees and broad sidewalks but it is the old city with its potpourri of blind lottery peddlers sailors from all over the world walking up from the harbor fishmongers tourists door-to-door salesmen and a variety shady characters thrown into the mix that finds its way into her fiction. The rich texture of the street life Roser Caminals witnessed during her formative years remains a powerful allure to the mature writer. Inspired by a popular urban legend about the white slave trade and the disappearance of a young woman in a lingerie store the novel explores the connections between Barcelona's criminal underground and its echelons of power. Named after a real street in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter The Street of the Three Beds reveals the colorful and corrupt hidden life of the city. 'Roser Caminals is a wonderful novelist. Her Catalan street's memories remind me of Isaac Bashevis Singer's about his Polish Krochmalna Street or Elias Canetti's in his native Bulgaria.' Alain Saint-Saëns novelist and literary critic.
