Drought: A Novel by Ronald Fraser
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.1 Mb
Overview: A brilliant novel about memory, love, and the clash between the old world and the new, set in 1950s Spain.
In 1957, a burned-out British journalist leaves London to recuperate in the idyllic Andalusian village of Benalamar, a place little changed since the tumult of Spain’s civil war. But when a foreign businessman arrives with plans to develop the area, the community is thrown into turmoil.
During a time of drought, the promise of a reservoir is meant to allay the fears of the local populace, but the developer has little idea what he is playing with. A local farmer commits suicide, and the investigation that follows leads back into recent history, lost love and civil war all a far cry from the tranquil retreat that once promised respite from a world of lurid headlines and backroom shenanigans.
