303K0

A rare phenomenon-level bestseller in Spain in recent years, with total global sales exceeding 1.5 Million copies. It is highly recommended by Nobel Prize winner Vargas Llosa. The HBO TV series of the same name will be released simultaneously worldwide in 2020. The day after the Spanish terrorist organization ETA announced a permanent ceasefire, Bitoli ignored the objections of her children and insisted on moving back to the Basque hometown town where her husband was killed by ETA elements. She needs to give herself an explanation before she dies: to track down the murderer and get an apology. Bitoli's return tore through the veil of calm in his hometown town and stirred up the painful past that had been dormant for many years. The two generations of the two families were trapped in the abyss of pain and could not extricate themselves. Their destinies were different but all had twists and turns, reflecting the heart-wrenching national memory. Heart-breaking pain is like an eternal charcoal fire, and there is no possibility of forgetting it; some apology may be difficult, but it must not be absent.
