Writer Ernesto, forever searching for inspiration, buys a small metal box at a flea market. Inside is a photograph of a young couple by a fountain with the caption: Mercedes and Andres Mostoles, July 19, 1936—and several letters intercepted with string.
The story of lovers torn apart by war unfolds before Ernesto as if in front of his eyes. Becoming an unwilling witness to three wounds that affected many at the time—love, life, and death—he is finally ready to write a great novel.
“Three Wounds” is an epoch-making historical novel about what you can live for—and die for.
