This is a heartwarming, captivating book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in a Spanish mountain village, it tells the love story of Angela, an Englishwoman escaping a troubled past, and Domingo the goatherd who looks on her as an angel. The village itself is full of engaging characters such as Rosalba, the matriarch, healer and shopkeeper who seems to hold everyone and everything together. Jenny Twist also gives us an insight into village life in the dark days of the Spanish Civil War. The hardships and triumphs of its people are described with sympathy and sensitivity. All in all, a brilliant read.
This is a real page-turner, full of gripping, spine-tingling tales, along with a romance or two and a delightfully humorous story about a grandmother who just does not smile. I couldn't put it down.Take One at Bedtime
