''A beautiful book, story, piece of history. From the haunting tones of the flamenco to a country ravaged by fanaticism. Hardly a day goes past since finishing this book that I don''t think about some aspect of it. One of the best books I have read in a long time'' Real Reader Review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Granada''s cobbled streets resonate with music and secrets and Sonia Cameron is here to dance. She knows nothing of the city''s past. But in a quiet cafe, a chance conversation and a collection of photographs draws her into the tale of Spain''s devastating civil war.

Seventy years earlier, the cafe is home to the Ramirez family, when Franco''s army coup shatters the fragile peace and they witness the worst atrocities of conflict. Divided by politics and tragedy, everyone must take a side, as Spain rips itself apart.

Discover for yourself why 10 million readers and critics worldwide love Victoria Hislop''s books . . .
