Why read it?
1 author picked Stone in a Landslide as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In this short beautiful novel, Conxa looks back on a life blasted apart by the Spanish Civil War. The Pyrenean setting of the story is as magnificent and brutal as the action here, but what I love most is the calm, timeless voice of Conxa as she tells her story of love and war and family. This is a brilliant book about what it means to live a long life and the lingering effects of the past.
From Jacqueline's list on brilliant old women as heroines.
