Review:
In Joanna Trollope's The Spanish Lover, Frances and Lizzie are twins, but the resemblance between them is strictly physical. Lizzie is married, a mother, the owner of a successful business. Frances is--well, people are beginning to worry about Frances now that she is almost 40. Instead of dwindling into respectable English spinsterhood, however, Frances moves to Spain and falls in love with a very married Spaniard named Luis, who, because he is Catholic, will never leave his wife. The repercussions of Frances's actions are unexpected indeed: as her life takes on new meaning and joy, the lives of her family back in England begin to crumble.
From the Publisher:
Joanna Trollope, a descendant of novelist Anthony Trollope, has inherited her esteemed ancestor's talent for storytelling. In this bittersweet tale set on the Iberian peninsula, she deftly maps the complex relationships that exist within families and the equally complicated relations between lovers.
"Some people are beginnning to measure out their lives in terms of the next Joanna Trollope... her novels, like family life itself, are built on the tensions between the illusions of permanence and the reality of charm"
-Jennifer Selway, Observer
-Jennifer Selway, Observer
"I love her wit, her benevolence, her resolve that in even the darkest hour a little light will shine"
-Vincent Banville, Irish Sunday Press
"Wise and warm, profoundly satistying as well as acutely querying... a perceptive chronicler of our times"
-Clare Colvin, Sunday Express
