I particularly enjoyed the light thrown on the Franco era and the imprint that it made on people – Alain de Botton, writer, philosopher and historian.     Read it and you’ll meet some great characters and learn about an era and a generation that paved the way for the Spanish gold rush of the 80s.  Definitely one for the shelf: to be taken down and read again often. - Danny Collins, Round Town News.
