During the Great War, the Spanish town at the centre of this novel turned into a boom-town, due to the demand for coal. After that, the downhill slide began, hastened on by Anarchists and left-wingers; then the Civil War and Franco's depression. Then came the March of Progress.
Jesus Moncada was born in 1941 in Mequinensa, the town on which this story is based. He has published two volumes of short stories. This is his first novel; it has won six literary prizes in Spain.
