The controversial new novel from the winner of the Edinburgh International Book Festival First Book Award

Focusing on the experiences of women during the Spanish war, this book explores their motivations, unique involvement, and the war's impact on their lives through both oral and written narratives. It connects these personal stories to broader themes of memory and women's roles in society, highlighting a level of female engagement that exceeds previous mobilizations in peace-time Britain. The insights provided serve as valuable lessons for fostering greater political participation among women in contemporary contexts.
