Description
From the author of The Endless Rose comes the deeply psychological story of a photographer obsessed with capturing the true essence of human nature. The Stars will take you on a journey through the darkest parts of the human condition.
When Jordi Carrera, a shy photojournalist from Barcelona, agrees to catch up with a few of his colleagues to celebrate what might be a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, one of them is found dead. Shaken but undaunted, Jordi picks up where he suspects his friend left off, taking a trip down to southern Spain on his own account in hopes of getting some worthwhile photos related to news stories of what seem like underage prostitutes' suicides. In the process, he disappears from the lives of Emma, the first woman he's ever loved, and of Joao Silva, his fellow photographer. If they look for him, what will they find?
