Two storylines one in 1936 and one in 2001 and unlike others with dual narratives, these two storylines are easily intertwined and that isn't the unknown in this book. Three generations of women in this book - Freya is the grandmother who lived through a rough time in Spain, Liberty is the middle generation and as of the beginning of the story has passed away and it has affected both her mother and the final woman in this trio, her daughter, Emma, who is pregnant with the next generation and is trying to deal with a lot of changes in her life both personal and professional.
The one thing that I adore about reading historical fiction is to learn something without feeling like I had a text book handed to me - the Spanish Civil War of 1936. I really didn't know much about this and don't tell my history teachers, but maybe I missed those days in school! Although I didn't know much about the war, I loved reading these chapters, they had story and content and history - so good!
