Delphine de Vigan's 'Las gratitudes' Surges in Spain Five Years After Publication

Five years after its initial publication, Delphine de Vigan's novel 'Las gratitudes' has become one of the most sought-after books in Spain this summer, driven by a theatrical adaptation and word-of-mouth. Spanish bookstores report continuous sales, and the title frequently appears on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, often alongside other popular titles such as 'Han cantando bingo' (Reservoir Books, 2025), 'Comerás flores' (Libros del Asteroide, 2025), and 'Oxígeno' (Alfaguara, 2026). The demand is so high that on ebiblio, the digital lending service for public library users, waiting lists extend for several months depending on the autonomous community. In Madrid, the queue currently reaches several months. The novel's renewed popularity highlights the enduring impact of Vigan's work and the power of theatrical adaptations and social media in reviving interest in literary works.
