The Alicante Chronicles, retold by Nastya Streltsova in this collection, are the result of years of creative searching. All the stories, in one way or another, are connected to Spain, and were published on the pages of her blog, where they gained wide recognition from readers. This is not the familiar Spain of flamenco and paella, but intimate private stories of immigrants who, at different times, arrived either for a clear blue sky, for hope, or for comfort.
