The Return by Victoria Hislop

5.0

This was the book that opened my eyes to Victoria Hislop's work, and reawakened my love of historical fiction. Beautifully written, full of rich description, heart-warming characters, heart-wrenching history, tragedy, love, and so much life. The whole time reading it I could feel the Spanish sun beating down on my face, and pretty much taste Granada. One of my all time favourites, can't wait to read it again. While I've loved every Hislop book I've read since, none have stolen my heart quite like this.
