The Dark Swallows: A Novel of the Spanish Civil War

by Helen Griffiths

Book Overview

This is the story of two villages, two lovers, two brothers, and two Spains. The dark swallows witness the doomed passion of Bernardo, carpenter and dreamer, and Elvira, self-willed daughter of the despotic leader of local affairs, who live in neighbouring villages on the austere Castilian plain. The clash of opposing villages and hostile parents threatens their happiness, but the far greater conflict of civil war destroys it.
