PRAISE FOR GILES TREMLETT: 'Tremlett skilfully transports the
reader back and forth from the medieval atmosphere and tragic
events of Spain's mid-twentieth century, to its modern and
sophisticated present' Guardian. 'An invaluable book... Ghosts of
Spain has become something of a bible for those of us extranjeros
who have chosen to live in Spain... A country finally facing its
past could scarcely hope for a better, or more enamored chronicler
of its present' New York Times Book Review. 'Lively and
well-informed... At once a history, a journalistic inquiry and a
travel book' Sunday Telegraph. 'A feast of a book' Irish Times. 'A
transfixing, elegantly written account of Spain today' Metro.
'Tremlett writes with humour, modesty and a great affection for his
subject'
