I didn’t intend to read Mystique by Amanda Quick, I had a hardcover that I wanted to read, but the light near the bed at the hotel was not suitable for reading. So I had a look and saw that I had this book on…
Reclaimed by Her Rebel Knight by Jenni Fletcher seemed like a great story. Constance and Matthew married when she was 14 and he left without even a word. After five years he turned back and now they had to start from the beginning. I liked…
The Silk Merchant’s Convenient Wife by Elisabeth Hobbes is different than the books she usually writes, as the story takes place in Victorian England, 1850-1851 instead of Medieval England like most of her other books. I enjoyed the book a lot. These days I’m less…

A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende was published this year and it was picked for the Goodreads Choice Awards. Seeing that it’s connected with the Spanish Civil War, I was curious about it. Luckily (or not) I could find it at the…
For whom the bell tolls by Ernest Hemingway is one of the classic books I wouldn’t have read if it wasn’t for me studying the Spanish Civil War. Well, I’m glad I read it. It has so many vivid descriptions, which are accurate even if…
A friend recommended The Seamstress by María Dueñas when she heard that I’m studying the Spanish Civil War. This is a historical fiction novel, with the action taking place in the 1930s and 1940s Spain and Morocco. It is a story about a woman’s survival…
I read the whole Matthew Shardlake series and enjoyed it. Winter in Madrid by C.J. Sansom is a stand alone novel, its history happening after the Spanish Civil War, in 1940. I had a short chat about the book with my tutor and he knows…
