'For a while, she wasn't sure that her husband was her husband. Sometimes she
thought he was, and sometimes not...'
Berta Isla and Tomás Nevinson meet in Madrid. They are both very young and
quickly decide to spend their lives together - never suspecting that they will

Tomás, half-Spanish and half-English, has an extraordinary gift for languages

determined to evade the agent's attentions but his fate is sealed by a series of
escalating events that will affect the rest of his life - and that of his
beloved Berta. Finishing his time at Oxford, he returns to Madrid to marry her,
already knowing the life they planned has been lost forever.
