Market day in Guernica

In 1935, Miguel Navarro comes into conflict with the Spanish Guardia Civil and flees to Guernica, the center of Basque culture and tradition. In this idyllic, isolated bastion of democratic values, Miguel builds a new life and finds the love of his life: Miren Ansotegui, the lovely dancer who can choose from all the single men in Guernica but sets her sights on the mysterious stranger. Discover together
that there is a love that cannot be destroyed by war and tragedy.
History and fiction merge in this beautiful novel about the power of family ties and traditions in times of oppression and war. The bombing of Guernica in 1937 was a terrible experiment in the run-up to the Second World War. For the Basques it was an attack on their soul, for the rest of the world an unprecedented crime.
This novel is a tribute to the men and women of Guernica: proud, spirited and strong, willing to do anything to defend their own values, their own country and their own loved ones.
'Market Day in Guernica is one of those timeless classic novels about love in wartime, like Captain Correli's Mandolin and The English Patient.' - The Boston Globe
