Beautiful, descriptive, and transporting. J. Taylor, author of 'A Moment on the Lips'
Margarita is desperate to escape the shame of being the daughter of an alcoholic. Finding love in the wrong place sets off a chain of events that will spin her world on its axis.
Caught in the grip of alcohol dependence, her mother, Carmen, is struggling as the past threatens to drag her under. She must try to heal the rift with her daughter and support her before the unthinkable happens.
The stigma of being born in Somorrostro fuels Santi Calaf's determination to become a doctor. He is shocked when he discovers his mentor, an ancient gypsy healer, holds the key to the truth, and as her life ebbs away, the ghosts of Somorrostro can finally be laid to rest
Reviews
Engrossing, beautiful, original. There are shades of Kristin Hannah and Elizabeth Gilbert in Julia Slack's writing. It's emotional drama, deftly switching between light and shade, which is a real skill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully written story of forbidden love and family secrets. Fans of Victoria Hislop (like me) will love this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Unbelievable that this is the author's first novel, as it reads like a Kristin Hannah classic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I felt the passion, tension, and sorrow within every page. Just glorious ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful story and so immersive. Absolutely loved it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you've ever been to Barcelona, you'll connect to all the places mentioned in the story. If not, you'll want to go! Devastated when the book finished⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
