Dawn in Seville

Rosella is a young woman studying journalism and English language but is also interested in writing. Rosella lives in Seville with her family and her father, a senior doctor who is a great source for Rosella and helps her in her writing. A turning event in her life is while Rosella was accompanying her father, Antonio, in a trip to Barcelona and Montserrat. There, Rosella learns that the famous poet Frederico Garzia Lorca has been killed by the Falangists. Following this shocking news, the trip is suddenly interrupted, and Rosella and her father return to Seville. While in Seville, at the break of the civil war, Rosella by coincidence discovers that her father was secretly helping the wounded rebels and socialist supporters. Later, her father confides in Rosella and begs her to keep it between them, which she does. Following a strange dream, Rosella starts writing a novel set in medieval Spain and which, later, would serve as the only companion in the events that followed.
