Description

Contemporary fiction. Following the changing fortunes of the Mau-Tempo family - poor, landless peasants not unlike the author's own grandparents, this book charts the family's lives in Alentjo, southern Portugal, as national and international events rumble on in the background - the coming of the republic in Portugal, and the First and Second World Wars.
