This book deals with the Spanish Revolution. But told from another point of view than we're used to. We're starting in an all-female prison, getting to know Hortensia and the other imprisoned women. We're following them through the years of war, unrest and rebellion until the 50ties under Franco. The book is based on interviews with survivors and eye-witnesses, what gives the whole book another dimension. It's unsettling and real.
