Amazon.com description: Product Description: 'Graphic descriptions of war and peace, three-dimensional characters (particularly the hot-blooded Cassy) and sustained excitement make this Claire Lorrimer's best novel to date.' - ANNABEL On a vast bull ranch in Southern Spain, Casilda Montero was born. Half English, half Spanish, the adored favourite of her aristocratic father, she was wilful, adorable, selfish and enchanting. Throughout the 20's and 30's, as Europe exploded into fascism, anti-semitism, and civil war, Cassy ignored the events of the times. Educated in an English convent school, she befriended Joscelin Howard, a girl from a humbler background. Joscelin and Cassy, and the two men who came to love them, were to be swept into daring, complex passions which would be played out on the bloody battlefields of Spain.
