The novel follows the Alvears, a middle-class family from Gerona, between 1931 and 1936, before the Spanish Civil War. Gironella combines the daily life of the characters —César, Pilar and Ignacio— with the political, social and ideological tensions of the Second Republic that lead to the conflict.
First instalment of Gironella's tetralogy on the Spanish Civil War, with a prologue by Martín Casariego, in the collection 'Las Mejores Novelas en Castellano del Siglo XX'.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish history and historical narrative focused on the Civil War.
