“Bones of Contention” by Andrea Weiss sets out to search for the lost bones of Federico García Lorca and uncovers the buried and deliberately repressed history of Spain.
Spain is today one of the most progressive countries when it comes to homosexuality, and yet the nation still refuses to account comprehensively for its dark past before a court of law.

For those seeking to remember and disclose the hidden stories...
