El día en que ETA anuncia el abandono de las armas, Bittori se dirige al cementerio para contarle a la tumba de su marido el Txato, asesinado por los terroristas, que ha decidido volver a la casa donde vivieron. ¿Podrá convivir con quienes la acosaron antes y después del atentado que trastocó su vida y la de su familia? ¿Podrá saber quién fue el encapuchado que un día lluvioso mató a su marido, cuando volvía de su empresa de transportes? Por más que llegue a escondidas, la presencia de Bittori alterará la falsa tranquilidad del pueblo, sobre todo de su vecina Miren, amiga íntima en otro tiempo, y madre de Joxe Mari, un terrorista encarcelado y sospechoso de los peores temores de Bittori. ¿Qué pasó entre esas dos mujeres? ¿Qué ha envenenado la vida de sus hijos y sus maridos tan unidos en el pasado? Con sus desgarros disimulados y sus convicciones inquebrantables, con sus heridas y sus valentías, la historia incandescente de sus vidas antes y después del cráter que fue la muerte del Txato, nos habla de la imposibilidad de olvidar y de la necesidad de perdón en una comunidad rota por el fanatismo político.

But I received it recently as a present from a family member, so I decided to face my prejudices.The novel deals with two Basque families from around the 1980s to the
A must read!
Focussing on two families, this novel explores what happens to a small community in the Basque country impacted by ETA. It's difficult to totally comprehend what it was like to live in the midst of such times but the author manages to convey a sense of the era. The writing is so good and the translation is excellent.
A story set in the Basque Country from the 1970s to the (almost) present day focusing on two families who are friends and then caught up in ETA activities. Moving, beautifully written and carefully crates characters made this a joy to read.
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The writing, the story itself, the way the book is organized and narrated. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to anyone that has ever lived in Spain or is familiar with its history. The book deals with the tensions of the terrorist group ETA and their desire to have the Basque Country secede from Spain. The way the story is told and narrated is incredibly accurate to the feelings and the culture of the region, it is
This was an amazing read covering the Basque - Spanish conflicting through the lens of two families and showcasing the effect that the conflict had on people's relationships, thoughts and everyday life. In the beginning it takes a little bit of time to get used to the style due to short chapters that very often jump back and forth in terms of the timeline and key character, yet all the chapters blend in together very smoothly to capture the essence and reveal the personalities of the main
