"The beginning of the 20th century: 13-year-old Conxa leaves her home village in the Pyrenees to work for her childless aunt. After years of hard work she finds love with Jaume - a love that will be thwarted by the Spanish Civil War. As the book closes, Conxa looks back on her life in which she has lost everything except her own indomitable spirit."--Publisher description.
