1940s Southern Andalusia. Anti-Franco guerrilla warfare is being conducted from the Ronda and Grazalema mountains to the Campo de Gibraltar. Largomayo joins this group of 'maquis', led by Bernabé López Calle, also called Comandante Abril. In a turbulent and predatory time, full of violence and misery, and in a situation of permanent flight and resistance, the group is riven both by complicities and ideological and personal difference, putting everyone's life at stake. What is the price of survival? Who and what can or do we choose to be? What is the truth and how can we tell it? This novel, based on real events, offers us an unforgettable portrait of lives on the edge, struggling for survival in the choppy waters of an ocean of hatred and suspicion, each clinging to the lifeline that circumstances, expectations and chance have provided.
