Barcelona, early 1930s: Natalia, a pretty shop-girl from the
working-class quarter of Gracia, is hesitant when a stranger asks
her to dance at the fiesta in Diamond Square. But Joe is charming
and forceful, and she takes his hand. They marry and soon have two
children; for Natalia it is an awakening, both good and bad. When
Joe decides to breed pigeons, the birds delight his son and
daughter - and infuriate his wife. Then the Spanish Civil War
erupts, and lays waste to the city and to their simple existence.
Natalia remains in Barcelona, struggling to feed her family, while
Joe goes to fight the fascists, and one by one his beloved birds
fly away. A highly acclaimed classic that has been translated into
more than twenty languages, In Diamond Square is the moving, vivid
and powerful story of a woman caught up in a convulsive period of
history.
