By the end of the civil war, Barcelona was on its knees, the people starving and the city decimated; and yet in little over fifty years, the city would host one of the greatest Olympic games of the modern era.Inspired by the song by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, the final novel of Jeremy Rowe's Barcelona Trilogy, charts the dramatic rise of the city, phoenix-like, from the ashes of war to become an affluent and successful modern city.
