I enjoyed The Return by Victoria Hislop, a fictional account of a family torn apart by the Spanish Civil War. Sonia Cameron travels to Granada to improve her Spanish dancing and meets an elderly man who tells her the story of the Ramirez family. She is drawn in to the story which ultimately helps her make new life choices. Before reading this, I knew little about this conflict and the terrible toll exacted on the Spanish people. There are a couple of "unbelievable" coincidences but they don't detract overall. A very worthwhile read. 5/5
