On board the French ship Mexique in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, two boys become fast friends. Driven from Spain by civil war, Oriol and Xavi join an exodus of refugees traveling to Mexico. The mysterious Cap¬tain Giloc, the magic of music, first love, and a terrible incident would mark their fates forever.
Their voyage carried stories of exile, friendship, loss, love, authoritaria¬nism, pain, sick-ness, fantasy, and loneliness. The authors, descendants of such exiles, gathered a selection of true testimonies given by Spanish Republicans in Mexico and used them to write this emotive fiction for chil¬dren and adults.
The Mexique won the Timón de Oro literary award in 2010, organized by Mexico's De-partment of the Navy and the Cultural Institute of the State of Mexico.
