Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Little known in this country, Woolsey was living with her English husband, Gerald Brenan, also a writer, in southern Spain at the outbreak of that country's civil war. Brenan's citizenship provided the couple with a measure of personal safety from the dangers of the war. Eventually, however, bombs fell close to their home, and they left for England after successfully helping a neighboring family to escape. Woolsey's insightful, reflective account of the war does not take political sides or discuss politics at any length. Rather, hers is a sympathetic description of the Spanish people around her. She is rightly skeptical of the many atrocity stories that circulated at the time and saddened by all the destruction and violence. This elegantly written book, first published in England in 1939 as Death's Other Kingdom, adds an unusual viewpoint to the many personal narratives on the subject of the Spanish Civil War. Appropriate for modern history collections in public and academic libraries.?Patricia A. Beaber, Coll. of New Jersey Lib., Eawing

The New York Times Book Review, Sandra Mardenfeld
Woolsey provides little education about the war; rather her story captures the cruelties of humankind without offering much context.
