Reviews

[Yuki · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story is extremely inspiring in respect of the description about the chaotic social situation in Spain and Morocco during wars.

The author María Dueñas illustrates not only dramatic lives of fictional people but also people who really existed such as Juan Luis Beigbeder and Alan Hillgarth. I don't know these characters are how faithful to historical fact, but they add a certain reality to this fiction.
