Smoke in Grandma's house book is about memories. Page to page goes from memory to memory. The story begins with the Sunday plan that four grandchildren had with their grandmother. When they were children, their grandmother would cook them a delicious strawberry cream cake. One Sunday, the grandmother will tell them the secret of the recipe that has been hidden in the family for generations. But there is another secret that the family has hidden. That secret will lead us to the Spanish civil war and it has to do with Grandpa. This is how the book explains, however, that everyone's memory is built on the smallest memories.
