"A brilliantly inventive writer" A.S. BYATT"The most important Basque writer of his generation" Times Literary SupplementTheir lives run into each other, like water running over stonesRobbed of the power of speech by a traumatic incident, a teenage boy finds friendship and his voice one summer in the Basque mining town of Ugarte.On an army base in the dying days of Franco's dictatorship, a group of comrades raise a pet magpie as they while away the remaining months of their military service.And finally, these same men, now grown, confront the changes time has wrought on their community and their relationships with one another, their interconnected stories spanning several decades of Ugarte's history.As the town moves from the hazy summer of the 1972 Olympics, through the mining strikes of the turbulent Eighties, and into the modern day, her people navigate the silences, secrets, joys and tragedies of their lives.Water over Stones is an extraordinary novel of friendship, nature, love and the immensity of death. Once again, Bernardo Atxaga shows his mastery in creating places and characters that are impossible to forget.Translated from the Spanish by Thomas Bunstead and Margaret Jull-Costa
