This is a memoir of life in post-Civil War Barcelona by the late Spanish novelist Esther Tusquets (1936-2012). She traces her life from the age of three in 1939 to her graduation from the U. of
Barcelona in 1959. Her memoir provides a look at life as a member of an upper-middle-class Catalonian family who had sided with the victorious Franco during the war and thus provides an
interesting contrast to the many works that have been written from the perspective of the losing side of the Spanish Civil War. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
