School of the Sun - Paperback

by Ana Maria Matute (Author), Elaine Kerrigan (Translator)

Back Jacket

A Spanish writer's approach by the intimist route to the still unassuaged griefs of the Civil War...What happens is that the protected bourgeois world in which it is possible to go on with the pretext of childishness at fourteen is split open by the realities of war, or, rather, the realities of which the war is the expression.
