Publisher's Summary

Fernando Aramburu's internationally acclaimed novel evokes an unresolved history of violence, giving a fictional account of lives shattered by Basque terrorism even as it rekindles debate about truth and reconciliation.

Lifetime friends become bitter enemies when the father of one family is killed by militants - one of whom is a son from the other family. Told in short sections highlighting a rich multiplicity of characters from all walks of life, Homeland brilliantly unfolds in nonlinear fashion as it traces the moral dilemmas faced by the families of murder victim and perpetrator alike. Aramburu alludes only obliquely to the historical context while he focuses on the psychological complexity of his characters and builds nearly unbearable suspense.

Homeland is a staggering international event: the most praised and most successful novel published in Spain in recent years, a masterpiece that has captured the imagination of audiences the world over. Here, eagerly anticipated, is the deft and elegant English-language translation.

What the critics say

"Complex and challenging...exhibiting a kind of sophisticated tidal pattern, with each ebb and flow leaving behind new clues in the sand." (The Washington Post)

“Aramburu’s remarkable novel is an honest and empathetic portrait of suffering and forgiveness, home and family.” (Publishers Weekly)

“It's been a long time since I've read a book so persuasive and moving, so intelligently conceived, a fiction that is also an eloquent testament to a historical reality.” (Mario Vargas Llosa, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature)

Masterpiece

It's long, it takes its time to tell the story, but it's worth it. It all comes together beautifully and there's not an extra sentence in there.
