The book tells the story of a Basque family in the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship: the flight and exile in France, the new French Basque country life.
The story is told briefly but what we remember is the pure and intense love of the spouses. "As long as we're together, everything is fine" ... They pass tests but their love enables them to keep. A love while modesty and delicacy, as it's nice to read that!
And style of the author is really nice: I reread many times certain phrases to soak up the sensitivity and word choice.
(Editing with this beautiful paper and this beautiful typeface makes it even better!)
In short, a great time.
