About this listen

 Granada's cobbled streets resonate with music and secrets and Sonia Cameron is here to dance. She knows nothing of the city's past. But in a quiet café, a chance conversation and a collection of photographs draws her into the tale of Spain's devastating civil war.

Seventy years earlier, the café is home to the Ramírez family, when Franco's army coup shatters the fragile peace and they witness the worst atrocities of conflict. Divided by politics and tragedy, everyone must take a side, as Spain rips itself apart.

wonderful book

excellent book well read except for the excruciating Spanish Accent. the reader must find a Spanish speaking person and phonetically write down the Spanish and her pronunciation would improve 100%. it makes listening frustrating at times as I am constantly voicing the correct pronunciation

This is the second book I have listened to with this narrator unfortunately she does not do her homework on pronunciation of Turkish or Spanish names Ignacio is pronounced Ignathio and not iniathio and Emine is pronounced Eminer not Emeen it sort of spoilt the book for me although I loved the story ........ sorry to be so picky just thought a little bit of research before reading might help !!!
