The book is exactly as advertised. It is a novel of
Intrigue, Seduction, and Redemption. There were a few places where I had
difficulty suspending my disbelief, and I shan't mention them, because you may
not have that problem.
The book is emotionally captivating, I liked the characters,
and I enjoyed the history woven into the story. I now know more about the
Spanish Civil War than I knew before. The Awakening takes place over time, and
to a degree over geography; mostly in Spain, a bit in Paris, and a tad in East
Harlem.
This book was a good read, wonderful for my bedtime read, in
other words, the story moved well, but was not an adrenaline gusher. Much food
for thought and cogitation, and it belies the old saw that you can't teach an
old dog new tricks. Read the book. Write a review.
I hope the next book is ready soon.
