Return to Pamplona, alover's quest in post-war Spain
Peter J Meehan
historical romance mystery set in Francoist Spain
Weaving together romance with political intrigue, this enlightening mystery immerses the reader in an entertaining lover’s quest.
A decade after the Spanish Civil War, a visitor is captivated by the country’s romantic allure. Richard falls for a Basque intern who challenges his naïve perspective of Spain’s veiled turmoil. When Terese disappears, he desperately attempts to find her.
Years later, a discovery compels him to return. Forced to question their past relationship, Richard’s journey takes him beyond the grip of Franco’s conflicted legacy to discover the truth behind his lover’s disappearance.
Background:
Activists flocked to Spain to support democracy in 1936, at the start of the Spanish Civil War. That confrontation resonates today with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Spain’s war ended in 1939 when Hitler-supported fascists defeated Stalin-supported communists.
Return to Pamplona opens in 1949, during Franco’s subsequent dictatorship. The novel follows a heartfelt quest mired by Franco’s conflicted legacy, revealing his regime disposed of thousands of dissenters. These ‘disappeared’ continue to be discovered by loved ones today. Is there any hope for reconciliation in Spain?
