2008.018.001Description
Guernica is a beautiful epic of love and family that calls to mind Corelli's Mandolin and The English Patient...In 1935, Miguesl Navarro finds himself on the wrong side of the Spanish Civil Guard, so he flees the Basque fishing village of Lekeitio and makes his way to Guernica, the center of Basque culture and tradition. In the midst of this isolated bastion of democratic values, Miguel finds more than a new life--he finds someone to live for. Miren Ansotegui, from the town's most prominent family, is the charasmatic and graceful dancer he meets there. The two discover a love that not even war, tragedy or death can destroy. Rich in the history of the region and the era, the Red Baron, the Luftwaffe, and even Picasso make appearances in Guernica as the fate of the Navarro family is traced through the 20th century...with characters as vibrant and colorful as the town for which it is named, Guernica is a seamless blend of history and fiction.
