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.

If you love the movie then the book will take your

What did you love best about Palm Trees in the Snow?

This is my favorite movie. I can watch it back to back to back. The book brought so much more. Yes, the story is a little different, but not too far off. A lot of research went into this and makes it feel more real.

What about Malcolm Hillgartner and Angela Dawe ’s performance did you like?

They both do an amazing job but I love Kilian in the book and in the movie so when Malcolm read I was more excited.

Any additional comments?

You must read this if you love historical romance fiction. I say watch the movie on Netflix first then read the book!
