Loved learning about the history of refugees trying to escape Franco in the 30s and then further upheaval after settling in Chile. So much I had no idea about but it was beautifully told thru the lives of a family and the people they crossed paths with. Lots of great threads about picking up the pieces after such extreme circumstances, family, mistakes, love and perseverance
