A review by sarahthefrey
Filhos de Torremolinos by James A. Michener

5.0

I can say with ease that this is my favorite book of all time. I read this book as a teenager and if it had done anything for me it instilled a vital desire to travel the world, especially Europe. The story-line is placed in front of a backdrop of rich European sites and culture that makes the reader crave the warm air of the Mediterranean. On top of this, the novel goes in depth to look at the politics and social conflicts of the late 1960's. It follows six very different travelers from six very different back grounds and parts of the world. They connect through music and coincidences challenging the ideals of the past and pushing boundaries towards a new modern philosophy. The perfect read for anyone who holds the era of peace and love close to heart.
