The olive groves of Belchite rise fed by the blood-soaked land left behind by the Spanish Civil War. Roving from the deep shadows of the war that changed the face of Spain to the financial wars of today's global economy, Los olivos de Belchite tells the story of how the past can plague our lives, and of the battles that must be waged once the fighting has ended. Multi-layered and impeccably paced, the novel unfolds at a galloping stride between Spain and the United Kingdom, between, vineyards and olive groves, merging periods and topics within the framework of an unexpected love story. Elena Moya's masterful tale is the saga of three women who confronted Franquismo and its vestiges.
