I was absolutely captivated by this collision of secrets, history and love. The audiobook was unbeatable; an engaging narrator and news reports, journals, etc. narrated by others really added an extra touch. This is one of the only stories I've ever finished and immediately wanted to start reading again.

The story centers around a young American, Daniel, on a trip to Madrid in the late 1950s. While his parents are in Spain for business, Daniel is a budding photographer who wants to capture photos that will win him a prize and enough money to get himself into a journalism program. Then, he meets Ana, a young Spanish woman who works at the hotel he's staying at, and he sees life in Spain through a completely different lens.

I received an ALC from Libro.Fm and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
