Lyrical historical fiction. This is the story of Spanish heart surgeon Victor Dalmau. Sweeping across 7 decades it includes the horrors of the Spanish civil war, exile to Chile on the Winnipeg (organised by the poet Pablo Neruda), and the Chilean military coup.
This is a story of allegiance, belonging, love and family. There's a gentle poetry to the writing that at times belies the turbulent subject matter.
