About this book

What happens when the pull of love meets the pull of home?

In Sunstroke and Homesickness, Emilia Pardo Bazán brings together two love stories of passion and longing. This classic of Spanish literature places love beside the pull of home, inviting you to consider what draws people toward another person—and toward the place they call their own.

The two stories, Sunstroke and Homesickness, offer a way into those competing desires. Read them together for their shared concerns: romance, yearning, and attachment to home. The appeal lies in that meeting of feelings, where love is not the only thing that holds the heart.
