THIS IS A COMPLETE, UNABRIDGED TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK.

THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR TOLD THROUGH THE INTIMATE, COMPELLING VOICE OF A TEENAGE GIRL WHO WATCHES HER WORLD CRUMBLE AROUND HER.

Maruja grew up convinced that her grandmother had never really gone: she was still there, by the window, knitting in the golden light that flooded her room. But in the summer of 1936 everything began to change for the worse.

The war came first as a whisper on the radio, then as the uproar of voices in the streets, until it finally seeped into daily life, forcing Maruja to abandon childhood far too soon. Torn between fear and hope, the young girl comes to understand the strength of family bonds, the cost of ideals and the heavy burden of the choices made by adults.

With numerous editions published in Spain and Germany, Under the Cold Light of October has captivated thousands of readers of all ages, establishing itself as a modern classic of young adult fiction. It is a tale delicately woven from memories, dreams and hopes, yet threaded with the sombre hues of defeat, bitterness and loss. A poignant chronicle of a Spain torn by war.
