'Close to perfection' Benjamin Myers
The novel that broke Spain's pact of silence after the death of Franco
Spain, 1937. The Civil War is not yet over, but for the Republicans, it is already lost. Franco's army is scouring the country for their remaining enemies, and four fugitive soldiers are in hiding, deep in the Cantabrian mountains. Surrender means execution. Winter means starvation. There is no way out - and yet they endure.
A taut and thrilling story of pursuit and evasion, Wolf Moonis also a testament to undying loyalties: to a cause, to justice, and to brothers-in-arms.
Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.
Translated by Simon Deefholts and Kathryn Phillips-Miles.
