Description
At once an epic family drama and a sweeping love story that spans both an ocean and a generation, Palm Trees in the Snow is an emotionally gripping and historically vivid tale of the secrets that can destroy a family - and the bonds that endure.
When Clarence of Rabaltué discovers a series of old letters from her father's past, she begins to doubt everything she thought she knew about her once-noble family. Her father and his brother worked in the colony of Fernando Po, but these letters tell a different story than the tales of life in Africa that made it to the dinner table. Clarence has no idea what really went on during their time at the cocoa plantations - or why no one in her family has ever returned to the island in all the years since. But the letters suggest that a great love story is buried beneath the years of silence.
Setting out from her home in Spain's snowy mountains, Clarence makes the same journey across the sea that her uncle and father traveled before her. There, she unlocks the painful secrets her family has hidden in the rich African soil. But what she discovers may also be the key to awakening her own listless heart.

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.

Totally gripping storytelling
This is the second time I have read this book. The first time using Audible as a storytelling performance. Although it is very long; I found it to be a wonderful long winter read. From the development of the families , to the interwoven multigenerational connections. Not an easy read as the multitude of different positions the author brings you through . Amazing writing.

Good story
The story was good. I surprised that the movie stuck close to the book. I expected the book to offer more than the movie, but it didn't. Still a decent read, though.

What an absolute joy and breathtaking story
Having loved the movie, i felt compelled to read the book and what a wonderful decision my only regret is that it is now finished and I can no longer on my daily commute be swept away by the words and the images of a love story written in a time and period that I knew nothing about, allowing me to escape to that time and place, learning of the lives of those from such different worlds but united by events out of their control..... I truly did not want this book to end.

They are both wonderful
I first saw the movie on Netflix, and though it is a little different, it does a great job of telling the story.
This is my second time listening to the book. This love story is beyond a love story. This book is amazingly excellent, and I am grateful for the translation.
Please, everyone and anyone, listen to this beautiful narration.

Family Saga between colonial times and the present
An interesting family saga steeped in the history of island of Matabo and a distant part of the Pyrenees in Spain, with valuable insights into the political side as well as of everyday life on the cocoa plantations. One is quickly enthralled by the characters, their romances and the intrigues as of the beautiful island in Equatorial Guinea and Pasolobino. Two places I personally had to look up on a map. A good story till the end and well read with a nice change over between the two readers.
