This novel 'follows the lives of several leading protagonists, two men and a woman caught inexorably in a moving trinity of love set during the bloody Spanish Civil War. The events unfold through a series of letters the two men are compelled to write to each other almost sixty years later, and also through the remarkable diary of Father Emanuel Hortez, the parish priest at Ungria during the war, whose words breathe life into the people of the village.'
