Title: Silly
Review: The Spanish Civil War has always been an interest of mine, and I looked forward to reading this novel. But I found it a major disappointment, with a disjointed narrative and poorly-drawn characters whose motives are inexplicable. Sergeant Tejada is one of the silliest characters ever put on paper. One moment he's a hard-core Guardia Civile who shoots an unarmed woman in the head, no questions asked, the next he's in love with a Communist teacher and protective of her student. Implausible, incomprehensible, and unsatisfying.
