Synopsis

On a stormy night, Ruth waits to tell her husband Samuel that she is leaving him, as he's no longer the radical she once loved. Meanwhile their son Maceo listens to his grandfather's stories of the Civil War, and daughter Marta is on the phone, suffering from unrequited love. But when Maceo is then struck by lightning, the peculiar relationships within this secretive and frustrated family are suddenly illuminated. Benjamin Prado's great achievement is to imbue his narrative with an epic dimension, the family's interrelations mirroring the upheavals of 20th-century Spain. Not Only Fire is an intimate insight into Spanish family life from one of the best and most original young writers of his generation.
