two best friends with divided loyalties.   The Basque Country  Spain  2011   Miren and Bittori
have lived side by side in a small Basque town all their lives. Their husbands play cards
together  their children play and eventually go out drinking together. The terrorist threat
posed by ETA seems to affect them little.  When Bittori's husband starts receiving threatening
letters - demanding money  accusing him of being a police informant - she turns to her friend
for help. But Miren's loyalties are torn: her son has just been recruited as a terrorist and to
denounce them would be to condemn her own flesh and blood. Tensions rise  relationships
fracture  and events move towards a tragic conclusion . . .  'Is Aramburu the Tolstoy of the
Basque country  author of a Spanish language War and Peace ?' Guardian   'A powerful novel' The
Economist
