The War Continues is the second novel in an anticipated trilogy of K.D. Conway’s telling of Spain’s civil and political saga. Time is passing. Somethings change; somethings stay the same. Loyalty remains paramount as Montes, our beloved heroin, shares her personal rite of passage from a once young political enthusiast to a mature reflective woman, mother, daughter and friend. Now an art journalist exploring Spain’s most significant historical masterpieces, Montse’s voice and noble influence draws the attention of friends and adversaries as she subtly yet powerfully reflects and connects Spain’s current events with the timeless tensions of war and peace, power and freedom.
Conway’s Iberian Trilogy is a panoramic education in Spanish culture and history, an insightful commentary on political issues, and a tender study of the human heart.

A vivid account of the postwar period in Spain (after the civil war 1936-39). This second part of the trilogy is as fluent and engaging as the first, and heralds the final book which, no doubt, will conclude a story that is informative on many aspects of Spanish culture, from history and politics to art and gastronomy, for all those interested in the recent history of Spain.

I loved the history, the art that plays out against the gut wrenching era of Franco Spain
