It is 1936 and Spain is on the brink of civil war. Across Europe,
young men are enlisting in the International Brigade to free their
Spanish brethren from the grip of fascism, leaving sisters and
lovers at home. But not all women are content to be left behind. In
Britain, Charlotte McBain and Libby Forbes, friends from opposite
sides of the class divide, are determined to do what they can; in
Spain, Rosita GarcÃa DÃaz, fiercely loyal to her family and
country, cannot stand by and watch. Three brave women, inspired by
patriotism, idealism, love and even revenge, dare to go into battle
against tradition and oppression. Tying them all together is Jo,
Libby’s granddaughter. Five decades later she travels to Spain
hoping to make sense of a troubling letter hidden among her
grandmother’s possessions. What she learns will change all of
their lives forever. Deceit, heartbreak and a longstanding fear of
reprisals must all be overcome if the deeds of the forgotten women
are to be properly honoured.
