Palm Trees in the Snow

Exhausting...

Too long, too many details, too much back and forth between times and people groups for me. It was well researched, but a bit overwhelming for me. Interesting family saga overall, but I got tired of so many problems.

Excellent

I loved every minute of this book. I saw the movie first and became interested in the book as a result. Beautifully written and moving.

it is ok.

I didn't love it and didn't hate it. there were so many characters that I found myself struggling with who was who at a couple points.

Love it !!!!!

I just love it. Overall, Story, performance.
Wish it is 10 more hours....
Will check another books of this author.

A poetic novel

I am a huge fan of historical fiction and of contemporary Spanish literature.
This poetic novel never disappoints for the reader looking for a quality piece of literature.

Lessons learned from living

The book started off a little slow and I was lost and thought maybe I should just stop and move on to another book but I am glad I stuck with this book because the story was wonderful. I was transported into another world where cultures clashed sometimes shamefully, I was given the gift to witness a love story than spans through all time , tragedy, heartbreak and happiness unfold. I was taken on a journey where the past meets the present and secrets unravel and forgiveness and understanding is found.

Historical Romance

If you like romance and history plus learning about new cultures you'll love it. A lot of research went into the novel. Loved the narrator. Thought I'd check out the English dubbed movie on Netflix. Pretty disappointing after the book as so much of the explanatory background was eliminated. It's ok based on length of movie.

Wonderful

Will be seen in the future as great literature of the past thank you Luz Gabas and the people from audible

Love is heart breaking when not allowed to blossom

This was a beautifully written story on Colonial Guinea's culture birthing into an independent nation along with the heart ache it raged in the personal live of its people. Even though Basila and Killian were desparetely in love, their lives were torn apart by its newly forming government.

Despite their not seeing each other in decades, they still considered themselves husband and wife in their souls even though Killian married someone else in his homeland of Spain.

This was a well written and plotted out story that made one feel hopeful for Basila and Killian. The naration was well performed which made me fall in love with the characters.
