Homeland
ByPublisher Description
The basis for HBO's Patria, named one of the "Best TV Shows of 2020" by The New York Times
In the heart of Spain’s Basque Country, two friends, Miren and Bittori, find their worlds upended by violence. When Bittori’s husband runs afoul of the separatist organization ETA, a terrorist group of which Miren’s son, Joxe Mari, is a member, both women must choose between their friendship and their families. Moving back and forth in time and told through the eyes of a rich cast of characters from all walks of life, Fernando Aramburu’s dazzling novel probes the lasting legacy of conflict. A work of nearly unbearable suspense, Homeland is a searing examination of truth, reconciliation, and coming to terms with history.

“I read this book after a friend, born and raised in the Basque Country, recommended it. Strongly recommend if you want to learn more about this period of history.”
