This novel alternately takes place during the Spanish Civil War and 2001/2002. I knew nothing about the war and its connection to World War II before I read this book. The storyline that takes place in 2001 is about a woman, Emma Temple, who goes to Spain because she inherited a house there from her mother. The house hasn't been used since the Spanish Civil War and she has no idea why her mother bought it shortly before her death. Emma has been going through a hard time with her mother's loss, the ending of a long-term relationship and finding out she is pregnant. She wants a new start and rebuilds her life as she rebuilds the house and learns about her family history. Recommended by Linda
