Planning on reading this during my holiday. Sounds like a super interesting book. Only heard good things about it, even from a friend who has lived through these times in Pamplona where his dad worked for the Civil Guardia.

I have heard raves about this book from my friend and didn‘t realize there was an audio book of it. I find the subject matter so fascinating, especially after a trip to the San Sebastián area in 2000 and seeing an ETA rally. So my husband and I are listening to it together (a benefit of sheltering in place)! I love it starting with mothers on the sides of the conflict between the Spanish and Basque separatists.

Impact of ETA on 2 families in small town in basque country. Long with short chapters. Excellent read. One of my random library grabs just before lockdown. May 2020

#30JuneBooks - Current Read: I picked this book up at the bookstore yesterday. Sometimes the easiest book for me to read next is the closest book at hand. I don‘t know though...I‘m not sure that I‘m in the mood for the intensity of this book on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Clueing you in from cover blurbs: HOMELAND has reminded Spain of the dormant power of literature to shake up society...👇🏽

Nute a fiction that is also an eloquent testament to a historical reality...persuasive and moving...division of a relatively quiet society...a spiral of aggression...ordinary people who are confronted with the issue of violence...lives shattered...a rekindled debate about truth and reconciliation...a rich multiplicity of characters from all walks of life...moral dilemmas and unbearable suspense. Good grief, Lord have mercy!👇🏽 5y
Nute It just became the current read!!! 5y
