This review is from: El Corazón Helado / The Frozen Heart (Coleccion Andanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Muy buen libro. Vale la pena comprarlo. Solo les sugiero que lean el principio sin apuros, tanto mi esposo como yo tuvimos que empezar de nuevo para poder aprendernos los personajes, despues uno no quiere que se acabe. Buen final. Disfrutenlo.

Very Rewarding,
By JS22 (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Corazón Helado / The Frozen Heart (Coleccion Andanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this book on a recent trip to Spain. I was looking for a worthwhile novel to practice reading in Spanish, and also to learn about Spain. I feel like I hit the Jackpot.
The prose is *not* easy. Within a single paragraph, the time and location can shift almost imperceptibly, and there are many characters to keep straight. (The website has a family tree.) But even through the cloudy perspective of my weak Spanish, I can admire the richness and grace of Grandes' prose. Often I go back to re-read a chapter, not only to clarify details, but also for more enjoyment. I am in no hurry to finish this book; I'm loving being right in the middle of it ! Every tourist guide I read before going to Spain said "Don't ask the Spaniards about the Civil War. Nobody wants to remember those times." Good advice, but it seems that the Spaniards themselves may have taken it too far. Corazon Helado explores not just the events of that time, but how the facts of those times, the denial of those times, the taboo against speaking of those times, all combine to tug and squish and prod at the souls of children; children who grow to become adults, who grow to make up "the Spanish people". More than just a well-told story, I think this book might be part of an important stage of growth of this fascinating country. At least for an outsider, it provides perspectives that aren't readily available anywhere else.

un libro muy pero muy interesante y bien escrito,
This review is from: El Corazón Helado / The Frozen Heart (Coleccion Andanzas) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Este es un libro que te enseña y te dice lo que no puedes leer sobre la guerra española y la época de Franco. Es un buenísimo libro
