Summary: When Alex Nadal unexpectedly inherits his aunt's farm near Barcelona he has two problems. the first being that he is a piano player from New York with no knowledge of matters agricultural. and secondly. his aunt appears to have died twice: once at the end of the Spanish Civil War - or so Alex's father had always led him to believe - and again sixty years later. from a mysterious fall. Very soon after landing on Spanish soil it soon becomes apparent that Alex's is not a prodigal's return. Alex discovers that this is a country where there is no such thing as the past but a place where there is only unfinished business. Review: 'A well-thought-out plot and a penetrating view of the aftermath of war. plus a nice ramble through the streets of Barcelona. make this maiden voyage well worth your while.' (Kirkus Reviews).
