Palm Trees in the Snow

Although a very long read, at least for me. It was a good story. I looked up some of the history of Spain and Africa. And even though the characters were fiction. The struggles were not. Interesting indeed.

Palm Trees in the snow, are hardy, withstand a lot of weather, and are resilient. Palm trees in warmer weather, plantation was home for Kilian. The heart wants what it wants. Verses the cold in the mountains with snow.

Spain and parts of Africa the story of struggle with politics, race, and yes romance.

Same as it is today for this country only amplified.

Sadly the struggles never come to a stop. There seems to be always and underlying thing that awaits.

To keep a secret between two brothers Jacobo and Kilian was a deed. The life that Anton (father), Jacobo, and Kilian lived was a world of its own.

Where a brother found peace among the people and of course love for Kilian to call home. As was for Jacobo a job, a way to be far from what awaits him in Pasolobino. 

But nothing ever last. 

It was good to read that Jacobo's daughter Clarence had an interest in the past, even though she found clues unexpectedly. Her path led to those secrets that were finally exposed to both the cousins and (boy) friends. After Kilian's death, Kilian's daughter Daniela wanted to put the past in the past and live her future with her husband Laha and kids. Where Clarence will be the storyteller and keep the history alive so her niece and nephew will know their family history along with history of the country.

In part of book my question of this was confusing.

 Bisila was raped by three people. But I guess for the sake of the story it was just known that Bisila knew who the father of the unborn child she was carrying was. For that the storyline is as follows...

I give Palm Trees in the Snow 4 

Good story but long......

Update: I seen the movie after reading book. Naturally 

the movie was different needing to fit storyline in a format of time. The movie answers some questions that book never mentioned. Especially about Bisila.
