| In Joanna Trollope s The Spanish Lover， Frances and Lizzie are twins， but the resemblance between them is strictly physical. Lizzie is married， a mother， the owner of a successful business. Frances is--well， people are beginning to worry about Frances now that she is almost 40. Instead of dwindling into respectable English spinsterhood， however， Frances moves to Spain and falls in love with a very married Spaniard named Luis， who， because he is Catholic， will never leave his wife. The repercussions of Frances s actions are unexpected indeed: as her life takes on new meaning and joy， the lives of her family back in England begin to crumble. Joanna Trollope， a descendant of novelist Anthony Trollope， has inherited her esteemed ancestor s talent for storytelling. In this bittersweet tale set on the Iberian peninsula， she deftly maps the complex relationships that exist within families and the equally complicated relations between lovers. |
