The Wind from the East by Almudena Grandes

2.0

This was an interesting book - two neighbors are fleeing from their memories in Madrid. Neither are particularly nice people but both of them have been victimized a bit by the ones they love. They are hiding from their mistakes and they form a sort of family together (through the love of a good woman - their shared HOT housekeeper!)I did get pulled in a bit by the back dramas which I found more interesting than the present day story but I found the end to be a bit of an anticlimax after all the time I invested in getting to know the characters. They both seemed to disdain the woman that in the end, knew more about sacrifice and love than either of them.
