Set in northern Spain from 1920 to the present day, The Bitter Taste of Time is the richly layered and evocative story of the Encarna women. After the death of her husband, the family's beautiful and imposing matriarch, Maria Encarna, turns her granite house into a pensión, opening it up to strangers with colourful stories and dark pasts. There she lives with her two unmarried sisters, her two daughters, and her granddaughter. Through the Spanish Civil War, a dictatorship, and the early years of a new democracy, the Encarnas become the wealthiest family in town. Yet despite their success and tenacity, tragedy comes calling, usually in the form of a man - and almost always on Friday."--Back cover. Genre:  Historical fiction. Canadian fiction. First novel.
