This was such an elegantly written book with a veneer of sunshine covering deep sadness. It is amazing how the author could convey such things so perfectly. It may have been historical fiction but there were many facts in this novel. I was drawn in by the story of Ana and Daniel, which was really good and really sad but it was also cool to see the various parts of Madrid through the eyes of Puri and Rafa and Julia too. There were two Madrids, the one that the tourists lived in and then the hidden Madrid.
I also enjoyed the real life bits too, the historical statements by presidents and ambassadors and other about how Spain was during the reign of Franco. And then how it was all tied in with the stolen babies of Spain.
This was a well written book and would be enjoyed by people of all ages.
