The Return

Trade Paperback

The 'captivating and deeply moving' Number One bestseller

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 cafe, 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 cafe is home to the close-knit Ramirez 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.
