About the Book

Empar Fernández ha construído con maestría una novela en la que destacan una magnífica ambientación de la vida en las trincheras de la Primera Guerra Mundial y la de la Barcelona de las primeras revueltas sociales encabezadas por mujeres.

Corre el año 1918 y la Primera Guerra Mundial está desmoronando Europa cuando Gracia Ballesteros se ve obligada a abandonar precipitadamente Barcelona.

En Burdeos conoce a Carter Irvine, un joven americano que se ha alistado como voluntario para luchar en el Viejo Continente, y entablan una relación que deberá superar la distancia y los peligros que les acechan. Mientras tanto, a su alrededor, cada vez más personas aparentemente sanas mueren por culpa de la gripe, una epidemia que aterrorizará al mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Empar Fernández has masterfully constructed a novel where she magnificently highlights life in the battlefields of WWI and also that of Barcelona during the first social revolts led by women.

The year is 1918 and as WWI is bringing Europe to crumbles, Gracia Ballesteros is forced to abruptly leave Barcelona.

In Bordeaux she meets Carter Irvine, a young American lad who enlisted as a volunteer to fight in the Old Continent. They slowly build a relationship that must overcome their physical distance as well as any dangers that lie ahead of them. Meanwhile, more and more apparently healthy people die around him due to the Spanish flu, an epidemic that would terrorize the world.
