Chapter Three : Sitges
Sunlit Pages & Mediterranean Nights
Thank You for Joining The Literary Escape
"Every great story has an ending... but we hope this is just the beginning of our next chapter together."
Six days ago you arrived in Sitges as strangers with paperbacks. You're leaving with a shelf's worth of new recommendations, a playlist that will make you cry a little the first time you hear it out of context, and — if we did our jobs right — a group of women you already miss.
Everything from the week lives here now: the photos, the books, the recipes, the music, the small things worth remembering. Come back whenever you want to sit in the Sitges glow for a minute.
We're so grateful you spent these days reading, exploring, and making memories with us.
Your Words Matter to Us
If you have two minutes, we'd love your honest thoughts — it's how every retreat after this one gets a little better. And if you're willing to share the word more widely, it helps other women find their way to us too.
Every Photo From the Week
You took the pictures. Here's where they all live — yours, ours, and everyone else's from the group. Add anything you're still holding onto, and take whatever you'd like to keep.
Every Book We Talked About
Somewhere between breakfast and the pool, this list got long. Here's every title that came up this week — the ones we read together, and the ones someone insisted you write down.
This Retreat's Book: The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón
