Luis Martin’s family was separated when he was a child during the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. He grew up hearing the stories of their separation and reconciliation recounted over and over. Combining his own childhood memories of those events with the remembered stories from his family members, he has written an engaging and thought-provoking Labyrinth of Memories: A Child in the Spanish Civil War. The circumstances of war take on new meaning when viewed through a child’s eyes in this recounting, and the bonds of family are vivid and indelible.
