The Return
The captivating new novel, from the author of the worldwide million-copy bestseller The Island.
Beneath the majestic towers of the Alhambra, Granada s cobbled streets resonate with music and secrets. Sonia Cameron knows nothing of the city s shocking past; she is here to dance. But in a quiet caf , a chance conversation and an intriguing collection of old photographs draw her into the extraordinary tale of Spain s devastating civil war.
Seventy years earlier, the caf is home to the close-knit Ram rez family. In 1936, an army coup led by Franco shatters the country s fragile peace, and in the heart of Granada the family witnesses the worst atrocities of conflict. Divided by politics and tragedy, everyone must take a side, fighting a personal battle as Spain rips itself apart.
Captivating and deeply moving, Victoria Hislop s second novel is as inspiring as her international bestselling debut, The Island.
