Both light-hearted and instructive, this book is good for some laughs and
food for thought, a must for anyone interested in Spain. It has three stories in one:
First, an unsuspecting newly-married English girl finds herself living
in a small remote Spanish village in the early 1970s. This is the
story of her awkward attempts to adapt to and understand the village
lifestyle.
Second, it is the story of how the village surges out of the stagnation
of a dictatorship and undergoes the political and social changes
which come about with the new democracy.
Third, a fictional story tells us about the problems and decisions
of village youngsters and how they try to change the mentality
of the older people.
