Coventry; England's car industry's heart in the 1930s to the ghost town of the 1980s and Falset, the capital of a rural underdeveloped agricultural forgotten area of Catalonia, over the same periods, would seem to have little in common, and it's very true. The only thing they share is the backdrop to a less-than-united Irish Catholic family.
The ideological decade of the 1930s wrought massive changes throughout Europe. The Spanish Civil War was the first line of defence against fascist expansion. Overwhelming air and firepower brought about a predictable defeat with a forty-year military fascist regime imposed on the Spanish people.
This book looks at the events of the war in the late 30s, and the aftermath in the decade following the death and demise of the brutal Franco regime through the eyes of two foreigners from Coventry. The result is an entertaining and humorous story about intercultural encounters and misunderstandings, war, love and passion.
It is a journey of discovery passing through the ever-powerful deep basic emotions of love, betrayal and death.
