Items related to The Wrong Blood
On the cusp of the Spanish Civil War in a coastal village in the Basque country, three men stop off at Extarri's bar. One of the men suffers a stroke in the latrine, and this bizarre and undignified event, seemingly so incidental, marks the beginning of a powerful story about two women whose bond - and whose secret - will endure even in death.

Review:
War, love and secrecy determine the lives of De Lope's characters. There are brutal scenes, moving passages and pages that are pure poetry. An unforgettable novel. (Isabel Allende)
Reading The Wrong Blood is like surrendering to a hypnotist. Manuel DeLope's subject is the fluidity of time and the pitilessness of war as played out in the lives of two women who quietly conspire to commit a victimless crime. The style is a marvel of precision and patience, resulting in an atmosphere so saturated with suspense that I found myself wanting to read more slowly, even as I breathlessly anticipated the next paragraph. I've seldom read a more sublime and disturbing novel. (Valerie Martin)
