DNF - I really wanted to like this one but, I found myself struggling to get into the story as a whole. I might try to come back to it at a later date because the premise really interested me.

This is one impressive book. The plot is intriguing and the characters are very realistic and clearly the result of extreme hard work and dedication. I am glad I was provided with the opportunity to read this masterpiece.

I strongly recommend it.

Two ambiguous relationships, generations apart, are ignited by the spark of the Spanish Civil War. Over time, old memories clouded by fear and shame force their way back into the light, although slowly, as one enigma is unlocked, another is summoned.

Just how long can Maria stay true to a dream? Will Jacob remain ultimately loyal to the cause? Will the documents they carry to the British manage to alter the course of the war? And many years later, will the troubled Jess discover the truth, with or without the support of a charismatic former UN peacekeeper?

Adrenaline charged...an action-packed, twist-a-minute thrill ride.
