The Girl with the Lens

Isabel Serrano grinds lenses in her dead father's optical shop while Franco's shells fall on Madrid, until her seventeen-year-old brother vanishes into the trenches of University City. She goes to bring him home and ends up behind a rifle she once repaired. Within weeks her face is on posters across the Republic. Then a party commissar decides what her legend is for, and the people she loves become the price of saying no.
