It is 1936 and Spain is on the brink of civil war. Across Europe, young men are enlisting in the International Brigade to free their Spanish brethren from the grasp of fascism, giving sisters and lovers at home. However, not all women are content to be left out. In Britain, Charlotte McBain and Libby Forbes, friends from other sides of the course divide, are determined to do what they can; in Spain, Rosita García Díaz, fiercely faithful to her family and country, cannot stand by watching. Three brave women, inspired by patriotism, idealism, love and even revenge, dare to go into battle against tradition and oppression. Tying all of them alongside one another is Jo, Libby's granddaughter. Five generations later she trips to Spain wishing to seem sensible of a troubling letter concealed among her grandmother's property. What she discovers will change all their lives forever. Deceit, heartbreak and a longstanding fear of reprisals must all be overcome if the deeds of the ignored women should be properly honoured.
