DISCOVER "ESTIMATED TIME OF ARREST" IN PICTURES PART II:

Here are a few photos of the gorgeous region called Pyrennees Atlantiques, which includes the Bearn province, where both the Vallee d'Aspe and Vallee d'Ossau are located. The pictures feature locations where the novel takes place, including the Chemin de la Mature, a path carved across an almost vertical face by French convicts in the 18th century, as well as the scenic, yet, sinuous, RN 134 road that meanders along the bottom of the valley, the Fort du portalet, the abandoned train station o...

We should all read more fiction, especially stories told as well as this one.  Author Delphine Pontieux has written good fiction in this novel.  Her story about Lartaun Izcoa is a window into the world of the E.T.A. Basque militants.  It's a real page-turner. read more here: http://nabasque.org/Books/ETA.htm
