The basis for HBO's Patria, named one of the "Best TV Shows of 2020" by The New York Times In the heart of Spain’s Basque Country, two friends, Miren and Bittori, find their worlds upended by violence. When Bittori’s husband runs afoul of the separatist organization ETA, a terrorist group of which Miren’s son, Joxe Mari, is a member, both women must choose between their friendship and their families. Moving back and forth in time and told through the eyes of a rich cast of characters from all walks of life, Fernando Aramburu’s dazzling novel probes the lasting legacy of conflict. A work of nearly unbearable suspense, Homeland is a searing examination of truth, reconciliation, and coming to terms with history.

I find it very difficult to rate and review this book. On the one hand the story is great and the writing style is FANTASTIC. On the other hand all of the characters are depressing and Miren in particular is poisoned by envy and bitterness; it was truly upsetting to read about her verbally and emotionally abusing her family and friends.
So, a great book but also very difficult. Proceed with caution.
