About the Book

Do scars always heal?

When Rose, a young English nurse with humanitarian ideals, decides to volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, she is little prepared for the experiences that await her.

Working on the front line and witness to the horrors of war, she falls in love with a Republican fighter, Miguel. As defeat becomes inevitable, Rose is faced with a decision that will change her life and leave her with lasting scars.

Meanwhile we meet Consuelo, a girl growing up in a staunchly Catholic family on the other side of the ideological divide. When she discovers that she was adopted, her attempts to learn more about her origins come to a dead end.

But years later Consuelo's daughter, Marisol, growing up in a rapidly changing Spain, decides to investigate the dark secrets of her family and find the answers that have until now eluded her mother . . .

What links Rose and Consuelo? Will Marisol uncover the truth?

Sometimes the truth lies in the darkest places.

Praise for Red Gene
"A wonderful book. It is so evocative of 1930s Britain and the generation for whom Spain was a huge issue . . . I really enjoyed reading it, with so many of the characters so brilliantly realised.' --Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the Labour Party
About the Author: Barbara Lamplugh is originally from London, studied at York University and lived in Shropshire for many years. A life-changing overland journey to Kathmandu in a converted fire-engine in 1974 sparked her first travel book, Kathmandu by Truck. Hooked on adventure, she then embarked on a backpacking trip around SE Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway and Japan. Trans-Siberia by Rail was published soon after. Alongside bringing up two children and a diverse career that included librarianship, journalism, running a volunteer bureau, editing, translating and teaching English as a second language, she has written several novels. Since 1999, she has lived in Granada, Spain where the Mediterranean light, rich culture and beautiful surroundings provide inspiration. Her last two novels have been set in Spain. Secrets of the Pomegranate came out in 2015. The Red Gene, first published by Urbane Publications, was launched in 2019. Besides writing, her passions include cycling, dancing, live jazz and of course reading. Pandemics permitting, she loves to spend time with her children and grandchildren in the UK.
