Editorial Reviews

Review
As surely as you know that you can't go home again you'll know the inevitable and fitting end of Sebastian Resales' journey. A veteran of the Spanish Civil War, he has lived in France as an exile for 34 years. Now, at age 54, having moved beyond any meaningful contact with the family he has reared, he is overcome by the desire to return to his native soil. As he travels south, a stubborn, spontaneous, fugitive without means or papers, he is transported through landscapes of memory, encountering scenes of valor and disgrace, remembering incidents when, as a young soldier fighting for the Republic, he earned his soubriquet, The Wolf. He hitches rides, befriended by some, mocked by others, on the run again, recharged by the challenge he has set himself. But the Spain he finds is not the Spain he wants. He goes too far in defense of his honor, kills a gypsy and sets the stage for his own execution - the dignified end he sought all along. Douglas Day writes with clarity, controlled intensity, and a sense of character. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
