One of the reasons I enjoy book clubs is that I read books I might not otherwise have picked up. This is one of those books. The author does a wonderful job of explaining what happened to the Basque people in Spain and France right before and at the start of WWII, but he uses characters and settings to do so. The reader is quickly invested in the characters and their story. If I am every lucky enough to visit Spain and the town of Guernica, it will hold more meaning for me.
