Description
In Diamond Square is a powerful and moving story of a woman caught up in a convulsive period of history. Natalia, a shop-girl from Barcelona, is drawn into a whirlwind romance with a charming stranger, Joe, at a fiesta in Diamond Square. As their marriage and family life unfold, Natalia finds herself torn between her love for Joe and the challenges of their simple existence. The Spanish Civil War erupts, and the city is laid waste to, forcing Natalia to struggle to feed her family while Joe fights the fascists. As the war ravages their lives, Natalia must confront the harsh realities of their world and the choices she has made. Translated from the Catalan, this highly acclaimed novel reveals much about the Spanish Civil War as ordinary people experienced it, and is a testament to the enduring power of love and human resilience.
