Its a book told in a series of tales, and stories within stories. I love books like this! You find out a bit more with each persons memories, but never the whole truth of it as only one person had known the full story. It was a very sad book told after the second world war in Spain. So that was just after their civil war.
The characters were brilliant. Julian was elusive till the end. We don't find out what really happened to him until then. Miquel was tragic. To much loss, his friends and family and having to lie to everyone. Penelope we don't really see, except for a few pages, but she was so doomed. Fermin was my favourite, so loyal and funny, but clever as well. And needing a second chance in life. But the evil in the book, Inspector Fumero, he was really nasty. Beatriz was good as well, and she helped julian in the end.
So yes I would recommend this book. I can't wait for book two to arrive....more
