Así en la guerra como en la paz
García Jambrina, Luis
Winter of 1808-1809. The British army under the command of Sir John Moore is sent to help the Spanish cause during the War of Independence, but soon after it will be forced to retreat to the city of A Coruña, pursued by Napoleon's forces.The Irish Catherine Gallagher, wife of an infantryman, tells us from the inside what the day-to-day life of that tragic retreat through the lands of Zamora, León and Galicia was like in a particularly harsh and inclement winter.Based on some historical events that moved public opinion at the time, this novel gives voice to the great forgotten women of that time, those women who accompanied, sometimes with their children, the British troops on campaign.A moving story full of emotion, tenacity and heroism, starring a unique woman involved in extraordinary circumstances.
