Like the Autum Wind
by Teresa Cameselle
Description
The hopes and fears of a resilient woman in the Spanish Second Republic —and the facts that would become history.
October 1934, Madrid. Twenty-five-year-old Enma de Cas- tro is a qualified teacher in search of a job. But finding em- ployment in Madrid is not easy, so she accepts a teaching position at a village school in far-flung rural Galicia where she educates her pupils using novel methods that arouse the parents’ misgivings. She also starts an adult school, which wins her the friendship and confidence of the village women. Her subsequent close friendship with Elias Doval, a learned and sophisticated local union leader, gives rise to idle talk. An encounter with Miguel Figueirido, a rough, widowed peasant who worships his daughter, makes Enma reconsider her decision not to start a family of her own. Meanwhile, the Second Republic is teetering on the brink, and no-one is pre- pared for what is coming. Will Emma overcome her troubles and become the teacher she dreamt of being?
