Exquisite historical fiction. If you're a music lover, this is a must-read! The characters are fully formed and you'll be living right beside them.

Compelling and engaging, this historical novel gives a personal face to the Spanish Revolution and the rise of fascism. Only a cellist could have written with such grace about a cello player. A wonderful read -- highly recommended.

If you love Spanish history like I do, you should find this book very enjoyable. However, if Spanish history and fairly technical music jargon aren't your thing, this book may be tough to get through.
reviewed The Spanish Bow on
I ordered this book for my husband, who has been a fencer.
He said it was a very technical, but well written book and he
really enjoyed reading it.
He thought the author did a wonderful job of sharing the history
of Spain.
Very enjoyable reading for him.
