In its original form, this sweeping epic saga about the Spanish Civil War sold over 350,000 copies in its native Spain and it has now been beautifully translated into English; quite simply it is a Spanish Dr Zhivago. The discovery of an old folder of letters and the arrival of a stranger at the funeral of the incredibly wealthy and powerful Julio Carrión González throws the fate of the whole family into doubt. From the provincial heartlands of Spain to the battlefields of Russia, THE FROZEN HEART is a mesmerising journey through a war that tore families apart, pitted fathers against sons, brothers against brothers, wives against husbands. Against such a past, where do faith and loyalty lie?

First of all, she is a virtuoso storyteller and knows just how to keep her readers expectations balanced on a knife-edge." Click here to read more...
