Description & Specifications

Sonia Haynes, the daughter of Jack and Mary, knows that her mother was from Spain, but she never got to know her well, as she lost her at a very young age to multiple sclerosis. When the thirty-fifth birthday of her best friend, Maggie, brings the two women on a trip of celebration and dance to Granada, fate – or destiny – will lead Sonia's footsteps to a café that awakens a dormant memory within her, and to an encounter that will open wide the doors to the troubled past of her mother's homeland, perhaps even to her own future...

The Spanish Civil War and Franco's dictatorship, the era of Lorca and La Pasionaria, the violence and refugee crisis, bullfighting and flamenco vividly come to life in this story of loss and hope, conflict and love – in other words, a story of life.
