following a Spanish family as they flee the Spanish civil war to Chile, the Chile to Venezuela, then back to Chile. Slower moving plot and I thought more could have been done with the politics and reflections of the characters.

I usually love historical fiction but this book just did not connect with me. I think there was too much history and not enough story or character development. It read more like a history textbook. For me it lacked emotion and had far too many facts. I did like the plot twist at the very end so I am glad I did not give up on this book.
