1936. Spain erupts in civil war. The Republic forms an International Brigade and calls for volunteers to combat a Nationalist uprising led by General Franco.
After his best friend Jimmy is killed by a police baton on a hunger march to London, Glaswegian Robbie Gillan has a fist fight with the mortician. The police are called and sympathetic nurse Alice Sheridan gives Robbie £5 when he tells her he wants to join the battle in Spain
.
Alice’s twin brother Simon argues with his father over Spain and leaves on the night ferry for Paris where the volunteers are gathering. In a knife fight with Franco loyalists, Robbie Gillan saves Simon’s life and the two men, opposites in class and temperament, cross France and climb the Pyrenees to Spain. Alice, drawn by emotions that are not entirely clear to her, soon follows with the Red Cross.
The battle cry of the Spanish Republic was No pasarán. Pasaremos. They shall not pass. We Shall Pass – the defining spirit of this gripping novel that takes us into the heart of war and reveals the enduring power of love, hope and defiance as Robbie and Alice must overcome every obstacle to be together.
Author bio
Clifford Thurlow trained as a journalist and wrote his first book at age 23. He has been described by Penny Wark of The Times as “one of the UK’s best ghostwriters.”
Thurlow studied Buddhism in India and worked with the Dalai Lama as one of a team translating Tibetan sacred texts into English. He traded gemstones in South East Asia and ran a travelling dolphin show in Spain before moving to Hollywood where he penned Carol White’s autobiography Carol Comes Home.
Thurlow is noted for creating novelised-style true life memoirs. Two of his books were Sunday Times Top 10 best-sellers – RUNAWAY (Simon & Schuster 2013), the story of Emily MacKenzie’s life as a teenage prostitute; and TODAY I’M ALICE (Sidgwick & Jackson 2009), Alice Jamieson’s story of living with multiple personalities.
