Dion Ugalde, village doctor, husband, and father, has come to believe that his son Mauro has joined the Fifth Assembly--a Spanish terrorist organization dedicated to bringing down the government by force. In anguish and desperation he reveals to his son a secret he ahs kept for twenty-five years--a secret of his own bloody youth and of blood crimes committed in the name of truth and liberty.
The Bird in Last Year's Nest is a tense involving novel of Spain in the Seventies. It is the story of Dion Ugalde, his wife Maria, and his son Mauro--of Colonel Basa the Chief of the Civil Guard who is at once Ugalde's friend and the man he fears most in the world. It is a story of driving pace and tension whose characters will linger in the reader's mind. And on another level it is a novel of the long-term effects of all attempts to change society by violent means.
