Description

Cry, Mother Spain by Lydie Salvayre is a powerful and poignant novel set against the backdrop of war-torn Spain. In a small village high in the hills, 15-year-old Montse's life is about to change forever. Her brother José returns from Lérida with a new vocabulary and a sense of purpose, drawing her into a world of revolution and rebellion. As the fascist forces begin their purges, Montse's village becomes a hotbed of resistance. With the war arriving in the nick of time, Montse must navigate the complexities of her own identity and the changing world around her. Will she follow in her mother's footsteps as a humble maid, or will she find her own path to freedom? This gripping and emotional novel explores the struggles of growing up during times of turmoil, and the power of language and rebellion to shape our lives.
