Following the changing fortunes of the Mau-Tempo family – poor, landless peasants not unlike the author’s own grandparents, this book charts the family’s lives in Alentjo, southern Portugal, as national and international events rumble on in the background – the coming of the republic in Portugal, and the First and Second World Wars.
