Review of Swallows Also Fall

[Naushin Moledina]

"Swallows Also Fall" by CR Armeny delves into the life of Marcelino Massana, who, after losing his parents during the Spanish Flu, was raised in a strict church environment. Influenced by his oppressive surroundings, he later opposed Franco’s regime by forming a group of "Maquis." Despite limited historical information, the author skillfully fills in the gaps, offering a compelling account of Massana's exploits and impact on the Spanish Civil War. This historically grounded book earns a 5-star rating and is highly recommended for history enthusiasts. Thank you for a great review.

This review has given me three reasons to read this book. First, narratives based on civil wars and history never fail to intrigue me. Second, the mention of the book's mixed perspectives has piqued my interest. Lastly, I would like to know how the author's relation to Marcel influence the content of the book. Great job!

Although I didn't know who Marcelino Massana was, I am glad his relative took the time and effort to write about him and set the record straight. It is not uncommon for the legacy of many people who lived positively impactful lives to be misconstrued.

Historical fiction that tells the story of the Spanish war and the Spanish flu seems interesting. I always enjoy historical fiction about history from different places, especially related to European history. Reading your review makes me even more eager to read this book. Thank you for writing this. What a great review.

I wonder the churches hypocrisy, that Marceli is brought up by it and grows up to oppose for oppressing it's people.

There are always two sides to a coin, and in this historical novel, we get to see Marcelino Massana’s other side. His upbringing in a strict church affected his overall personality. What exactly did he do in the Spanish Civil War? A brief narrative fills the gaps in history. That was a brilliant review!

[Black Indigo]

I will give this book a chance despite the off-putting points mentioned. Thank you for the review.

Learning about the author's personal connection to Marceli adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. It's fascinating to see how familial ties can inspire such passionate storytelling, even when historical records are sparse.

I think this is an interesting book. The historical lining of the book makes it so great to ponder on. I l would like to see what becomes of Marceli. It must have been devastating to be orphaned at a young age.
