The Road to Zarauz (Hardback original)

It is the summer of 1954. Four young men on a summer vacation buy an old car from a farmer and drive it from the hills of Wales all the way to the mountains of Spain.

It is only a few years since the war, Europe is still in ruins.

They are innocent and war-scarred, dreamers and realists, men but not much more than boys.

They have their whole lives ahead of them. This will be their summer to remember. A beautiful, elegiac rumination on youth, friendship and the dreams that we hold.

Sam Adams has created a rare novel in The Road to Zarauz, both timeless and very much of a time and a place, a past of hope and expectation erased in a moment, and what remains when hope is gone.
