Welcome to Litsy!

I can think of a few folks who fit this definition. 😤

Also, I splurged and bought this hardcover special edition because LOOK at the gorgeous endpaper art!! 😍🌊😍

I finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖

This is a nicely paced crime novel paved with a lot of humor; my first read by this author. A famous writer of romance novels is murdered the night she is awarded a tremendous prize in Barcelona. The main suspect, also a finalist, has a strong alibi as the night of the crime he has been robbed by an unusual thief. A team of two fake detectives are hired to find the thief and discover who the real killer is.

I finished this and never reviewed it. It is a historical novel set in Spain and Germany during WWII. After losing some of her family in Spain from an air raid by the Nazis, she becomes a spy for the Allies.

I never knew some of the historical things that were in the novel. Robards researched the book well. It is well written and intriguing. If you like WWII novels, you would probably enjoy this one.

😊Happy Reading 😊

You know how you go into a story thinking you‘re reading one thing and it ends up being something completely different? That‘s this book. I thought it was going to be some sort of feel good mystery and it ended up being more of a sci-fi conservationist call to arms. I think the message was awesome, but it just wasn‘t what I was expecting. That being said I enjoyed seeing the main character learn to love life again. Strange but interesting. 🌟🌟🌟

Here‘s my review for this book.

The premise is an interesting one; the narrator/MC is the spirit of a young 15th C teen who essentially eavesdrops on Sand and Chopin. I would have preferred the focus to have been on the young girl‘s life. But, hey ho.

I‘m unlikely to remember this one unless someone mentions Sand & Chopin.
