Expats

<I>Madrid 1984</I>. Spain is emerging from the gloom of Franco's dictatorship blinking at the gleam of freedom. Widows in permanent black stare horrified at shrieking teens in miniskirts. Soldiers read furtively from once-banned books. Light and dark coexist from the shimmer of Spain's summer playgrounds to the cold caves of Basque terrorists. The giddy nightlife sprees the bullfights and the feasts and the chilling jolt of a coup d'��tat await a group of young expatriates. </p><p>Some come looking for fun some for a future. Some are looking for Hemingway. Kevin a New York City transplant is looking for a whole new life. Follow his trials and triumphs throughout Spain to London Paris New York and Mexico City as he chooses between sweet safe love and reckless savage passion.</p> <p>When Kevin finally feels he's got it all he loses it in one tragic instant. And if he can be saved at all it will only be by the redemptive powers of Spain.</p>
