A disjointed narrative of Granada in the shadow of civil war

One last dance (Paperback)

Customer Review

During a trip to Granada where she deepened her passion for dance, Sonia discovers a small cafe El Barril whose owner will tell him the story of the city during the civil war and that of the Ramirez family, who held the spot. She then delves into the tragic fate of a young girl passionate flamenco and his brothers torn apart by their ideas.

I discovered Victoria Hislop with his first novel about Greece. I had been seduced by this first book by it which the subject is very interesting, but sometimes lacking a bit of material. The construction of history that we pass from one character to another, leaving them sometimes for a hundred pages. It is therefore more difficult to identify them, and their description hardly embody and make them endearing. Nevertheless, I enjoyed discovering a subject of history I knew little, that of the Spanish Civil War which the author describes in detail the steps and dramas.
The other weak point of the novel is to make a formal abyss, the contemporary history of the first pages are a pretext to tell the story of the Spanish Civil War. From my point of view I think it is a bit artificial, and built quite clumsily on "forgotten island". "One Last Dance" remains a proper holiday book, but hardly seduced by its lack of thickness. Too bad!
