'If a better Spanish novel than Homeland has appeared in the past
10 years, I'd like to hear about it . . . An uplifting tale,
beautifully crafted and full of feeling.' Guardian Miren and
Bittori have been best friends all their lives, growing up in the
same small town in the north of Spain. With limited interest in
politics, the terrorist threat posed by ETA seems to affect them
little. When Bittori's husband starts receiving threatening letters
from the violent group, however - demanding money, accusing him of
being a police informant - she turns to her friend for help. But
Miren's loyalties are torn: her son Joxe Mari has just been
recruited to the group as a terrorist and to denounce them as evil
would be to condemn her own flesh and blood. Tensions rise,
relationships fracture, and events race towards a violent, tragic
conclusion . . . Fernando Aramburu's Homeland is a gripping story
and devastating exploration of the meaning of family, friendship,
what it's like to live in the shadow of terrorism, and how
countries and their people can possibly come to terms with their
violent pasts. 'It's been a long time since I've read a book that
was so persuasive and moving, so intelligently conceived.' Mario
Vargas Llosa
