“Set between England and the Spanish Canary Islands, three women learn the truth about their shared past, and discover the importance of family. Spain, 1939. Following the wishes of her parents to keep her safe during the war, a young girl, Julia, enters a convent in Barcelona.”
Rosanna Ley, The Villa

“Memory was a strange creature. It was selective and it could play strange unexpected tricks.
