A young woman wanting a fresh start is enchanted by a Spanish village. The somber, pastoral setting is just the balm to heal her heart so she decides to stay. That single incident sets off a chain reaction in this remote place still living in the shadow of the bad times under Franco.
As Angela integrates into the village by marrying a local man, the effect is transformative for all. The characters and the village undergo a renewal and rebirth.
Twist’s tale brings this fictional village to life and endears the reader with its fairy tale simplicity. She shows us how humans fear change and how a village is more than the houses and people in it.
