Read Where The Cricket Sings: Thrilling Historical Fiction from 1930s Spain and France to 1950s Ireland: the man and woman who openly defied Fascism. By D T Murphy Full Books Online in HD Quality

Luken stands on the clifftops outside St Jean de Luz in France looking across to Spain, the land he is forbidden to return to under penalty of death … but knows that he will.

In Northern Spain 1936, Fascist forces are imposing their deadly ideology: ‘Think like us or die.’
Dissenters are executed.

Luken urges his fellow citizens to revolt for better working conditions and his wife, Miren, a nurse, treats left wing sympathisers – fatal actions under the regime.
Both are forced to flee with their daughter and son.

Finding no work in France, they reach out to an old friend of Luken's, who helps them create a new life in Ireland.
This fresh start, however, is threatened when they discover the shadowy forces and influences they thought had been left behind are still in pursuit...

Inspired by actual characters and events, this is a beautifully written story of exile and sanctuary, set in contemporary historical times, a story of unrequited love, of tragedy and loss and, ultimately, of the reaffirmation of the human soul.
