This is a book that has been sitting on my shelf to be read for a long time and this was the year & time to finally get to it. A daughter in college goes to Spain to study for a summer and while out for a run is killed by a bomb that ETA had exploded near a police station. This was about a year later that the father is kind of losing it decides to go to Spain. His life since his daughter's death has spun out of his control it seems--his wife has left him because he is a shell of himself and she is moving on & becoming a successful realtor. The younger daughter is in college in the east and the father just kind of shows up at times at her school. Summer break just started and daughter went home but dad wasn't there, she eventually figures out he went to Spain and tracks him there. The dad is trying to make sense of this & develops a real hatred for ETA. Dad meets an American lady there that was married but now divorced but still living there and becomes involved with her but his obsession is still with ETA & the Basques. He just disappears and soon after the youngest daughter appears and the lady and her team up to find dad. A little confusing type book and ending too. Glad finally read it & have posted it.
I have posted it already & it is the only copy in PBS system so might get moved at some point.
