BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER:
In Joanna Trollope's The Spanish Lover, Frances and
Lizzie are twins, but the resemblance between them is strictly physical.
Lizzie is married, a mother, the owner of a successful business. Frances
is--well, people are beginning to worry about Frances now that she is almost
40. Instead of dwindling into respectable English spinsterhood, however,
Frances moves to Spain and falls in love with a very married Spaniard named
Luis, who, because he is Catholic, will never leave his wife. The
repercussions of Frances's actions are unexpected indeed: as her life takes
on new meaning and joy, the lives of her family back in England begin to
crumble.
Joanna Trollope, a descendant of novelist Anthony Trollope, has inherited
her esteemed ancestor's talent for storytelling. In this bittersweet tale
set on the Iberian peninsula, she deftly maps the complex relationships that
exist within families and the equally complicated relations between lovers.
If a talent for storytelling is a family trait, then Trollope (The Choir, LJ
10/1/95), a descendant of Anthony Trollope, has inherited it in spades, as
her new book proves. From the title one might expect a fluffy romance, but
this novel offers much more. It is also the story of a family, the trials
and tribulations of ordinary people. Frances and Lizzie are the twin
daughters of William and Barbara. Lizzie is married, with four children.
Frances is single and owns a travel agency. On a business trip to Seville,
Frances meets the man who will later become her "Spanish lover." The affair
between Frances and Luis Gomez Moreno becomes the catalyst that causes
shifts and changes in the whole family, for better and worse. Trollope
constructs a beautiful plot, and her descriptions of Spain will have you
itching to call your travel agent. Highly recommended.
