Acts of Love and War  is a heartrending tale of love, courage and sacrifice, following three young British volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Inspired by the real lives of aid workers, International Brigaders and Spanish civilians, Maggie Brookes has crafted a beautiful, compelling story of hope and humanity in war.” Nikki Marmery Author of On Wilder Seas
