"A deeply moving debut novel set amidst the protests, punk music, and rebellious art of 1970s Spain, about a university student searching for her missing younger brother, willing to do anything--and sacrifice anyone--to find him.

Students perform protest art in the city center, rioting against the old government, the undecided new order, against the university, against themselves... Mosca is an intelligent, disillusioned university student, whose younger brother is among the "disappeared," kidnapped by the police, missing for two years, and presumed dead.
