Yes, I’ve just finished it - & immediately want to read it again! I bought the hardback book from Amazon for £9, & I see that they have a paperback edition, published end of June, but it is £13! Anyway, it is an excellent read, and much better than The Island, which I didn’t like at all .
It would perfect for a “holiday read”, but the setting of the shocking civil conflict of the Spanish Civil War does cast a heavy cloud - & particularly if it is read on the beaches of Southern Spain. She has managed to spin together a story of passion and colour with a description of the human suffering of that war. I have been to Granada ,where I was in awe of the Alhambra, & the old town, but like most tourists was not aware of what had gone on during the war.
I will not comment on the story line - only to recommend that you simply buy the hardback now from Amazon! Highly recommended to read at home as well as on holiday!

Its out in paperback at the airports, just took it away with me to Spain and it is an amazing read. Absolutely loved it, was wondering where it was going in the first two chapters but after that could not put it down. Its informative, thought provoking, sad and just a fab read. Would definately recommend it.
