Description
Franco's troops invaded Spain and the people were fighting for their freedom. From all over the world volunteers flocked to help, among them six young students from England. They were poets, these boys, and musicians, filled with romantic notions of war.
Only one came home.
He left behind the love of his life and his precious mandolin.
Then came the letter... the letter that changed everything.
This is the story of how Nick returned to Franco's Spain on the brink of the outbreak of WWII on a quest to rescue his lost love.
"A powerfully evocative story about an idealistic young soldier-musician who goes off to fight for Spain in the Civil War, where he meets Rosa - a young Spanish woman who saves his life and steals his heart.
For an afternoon of delightful escapism, I can't recommend this great collection enough. Well done Ms Twist. More please!" Manic Scribbler
"The Minstrel Boy" is set in the 1930s, during the time of the Spanish Civil War and the events leading to World War II. It's the story of a love affair between an idealistic young Englishman and a strong and realistic young Spanish woman. Jenny Twist's knowledge of the time and her great talent for drawing character and detail make the tale unforgettable." M. Thornburg
