When New Yorker Alex Nadal inherits his aunt’s farm near Barcelona he is more than intrigued. First, because his aunt appears to have died twice – once at the end of the Spanish Civil War and again sixty years later – and secondly because he is curious about his Catalan roots, about which his father has always maintained a stony silence. But his arrival on Spanish soil is not a prodigal’s return; indeed he is made to feel very unwelcome. He asks too many questions which are met with either hostility or silence, until Alex begins to understand that in this sun-baked and ancient land the past is not history but merely unfinished business. And in the end it’s a simple ultimatum: finish it or it will finish him.
