I LOVED this book! I really connected with it because I lived in the Basque country for 5 months when I was on Erasmus. The Basques often told us about hardships from Franco's regime. I am also a photographer, so there were a lot of easter eggs for me in the book in that regard as well. On top of all that, the characters were wonderful and I was amazed at how wonderfully the plot was layed out and tied up. After this, I wouldn't mind if the Author did a story on Hungarian history as well. Thanks to the Author for this masterpiece and for all her thorough research!
