A story of exile, love and loss in Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and Mexico.  A marriage embittered by disappointment, a small boy struck by lightning, and a young woman running headlong into a personal hell. This is the drama of Benjamin Prado's Not Only Fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrado introduces us to four generations of an everyday - and yet extraordinary - Spanish family.  Grandfather Truman is the son of Republicans purged under Franco; Samuel and Ruth are a married couple, their past full of youthful dreams and promises, who now face a humdrum future; their young daughter Martha is caught in an intense but self-destructive relationship; and their ten-year-old son Maceo is obsessed by the sky, and the stories Truman tells him of travels, secrets and tragedies.  Each member of the family is close to the edge - and anything could happen, from forgiveness to murder . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Eighteen-year-old Marta goes to parties where the kids drink and snog to Sonic Youth.  This could be England.  But her leftist family is scarred by four decades under Franco.'
