In exile in England, his former lover finds him a disheartening job that only intensifies his feelings of bitterness and despair: caring for 3,800 refugee children who have also fled to England after the city of Bilbao fell to Franco's army. Seventy years later, a young Mexican filmmaker living in New York receives a mysterious email that throws his life into complete disarray and forever links him to the famous Spanish poet. \u003ci\u003eThe Family Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e (the title of Cernuda's only play, which had gone missing for fifty years until Octavio Paz found it in a shoe box in his mother's house) is, as Jorge Volpi once said, \"A beautiful example of two decanting narratives constructed with the precision and accuracy of a watchmaker. From the opening lines, the characters' destiny seems--almost--preordained.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771510489376,"sku":"9781564787330","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0a8410e96b61f561bf8c9523b82db09f.webp?v=1780387918","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-family-interrupted-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
