Interpretation To Books Patria
El dÃa en que ETA anuncia el abandono de las armas, Bittori se dirige al cementerio para contarle a la tumba de su marido el Txato, asesinado por los terroristas, que ha decidido volver a la casa donde vivieron. ¿Podrá convivir con quienes la acosaron antes y después del atentado que trastocó su vida y la de su familia? ¿Podrá saber quién fue el encapuchado que un dÃa lluvioso mató a su marido, cuando volvÃa de su empresa de transportes? Por más que llegue a escondidas, la presencia de Bittori alterará la falsa tranquilidad del pueblo, sobre todo de su vecina Miren, amiga Ãntima en otro tiempo, y madre de Joxe Mari, un terrorista encarcelado y sospechoso de los peores temores de Bittori. ¿Qué pasó entre esas dos mujeres? ¿Qué ha envenenado la vida de sus hijos y sus maridos tan unidos en el pasado? Con sus desgarros disimulados y sus convicciones inquebrantables, con sus heridas y sus valentÃas, la historia incandescente de sus vidas antes y después del cráter que fue la muerte del Txato, nos habla de la imposibilidad de olvidar y de la necesidad de perdón en una comunidad rota por el fanatismo polÃtico.

Probably not the height of literary style or sophistication. And so so great precisely because of that. So necessary. So simple. So human. So profound, so full of compassion. And, last but not least, so horrifying and gripping.Hands down one of the best books that I have ever read. To write about something so complicated and ugly in such a civil, humane way is no small feat. Aramburu masterfully uses the characters to present various facets of the Basque conflict and I have to say, even though I started reading with a clear idea about who is right and who is wrong, I am no longer sure about that.
Bestial!!!!
A very well written book with such attention to detail that you can really enter the lives of the main characters and the families that the book centres around.If you are looking to understand the community and how ETA affected lives, not only of members or victims, but of those around them, then this is a must read.Ive awarded 4 stars instead of 5 as there were points, that in my opinion, that could have been improved.Given the length of the book, there were unnecessary chapters/characters that
This novel has been a huge success in Spain recently. From September 2016 to July 2017, that is ten months after it was first published, it has run through twenty editions. Several of my friends have read or are reading it and a few recommended it to me. Generally I am not much drawn to bestsellers and this one was no exception. But I received it recently as a present from a family member, so I decided to face my prejudices.The novel deals with two Basque families from around the 1980s to the
A must read!
This was an amazing read covering the Basque - Spanish conflicting through the lens of two families and showcasing the effect that the conflict had on people's relationships, thoughts and everyday life. In the beginning it takes a little bit of time to get used to the style due to short chapters that very often jump back and forth in terms of the timeline and key character, yet all the chapters blend in together very smoothly to capture the essence and reveal the personalities of the main
