With the magnificent Desfiladero de Despenaperros gorge at the centre, From Where We Threw Dogs journeys through modern and 11th Century Spain tracing the story of a young City king. Weaving between the present day journey and the past, with its inherent cruelty and a powerful church it graphically describes the battle for survival in early Spain; a tale of love, loss, loyalty and violence: of hereditary power and the manic egotism of its central character. Inspired by the writer's own travels through a rugged and foreboding part of central Spain it brings the reader along that journey to experience not only the grandeur of the terrain but also the spiritual thoughts and the mental torments of a leader of men. Surrounded by two powerful friends, Jimmy and Alec, the young king is torn in many directions by their battle to upstage each other in his affections, intertwined with his love for a woman who is constantly in his thoughts but whose absence almost destroys his capacity for life.
