The great elegy to old Majorca.
A classically elegant psychological novel, The Dolls’ Room is focused on the life of Don Toni Bearn, an admirer of the Age of Enlightenment and the last great heir of rural Majorcan aristocracy. As Tomasi di Lampedusa did for Sicily in The Leopard, Villalonga evokes the end of the premodern world on the island of Majorca, melding humor and nostalgia, with the conviction that the only true paradise is a lost paradise.
