Despite its title, there is little of war and much of the fantastic in this coming-of-age story, which was the last novel Mercè Rodoreda published during her lifetime. "Episodic in style, the language is breathtaking and transportive, ultimately showing the reader the universal beauty and injustice of fate. The translation by Maruxa Relaño and Martha Tennent is stunning. An incredibly original work and not to be missed." – Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore
