' . . . the story is dramatic and engaging, and readers willing to suspend their disbelief will appreciate the ending. Escobar's latest (after THE FORGOTTEN NAMES, 2024) is a worthy read as present-day occurrences echo events of the past.' * Booklist * 'A powerful and achingly real look into the Spanish Civil War and 1930s Europe that both illuminates and captivates. I was so invested in Barbara and her family's plight that I could not stop turning the pages. Mario Escobar has penned an unforgettable novel of love and fortitude--and books!' * Sara Ackerman, USA TODAY bestselling author of THE CODEBREAKER'S SECRET * 'Deftly captured and eloquently told, Mario Escobar's A BOOKSELLER IN MADRID is an important, powerful tale bringing tragic circumstances and resilient characters together in an often-overlooked time in Spanish history. This story is an impressive testament to literature's ability to provide comfort, strength, and hope even in the darkest of times.' * Gabriella Saab, author of THE LAST CHECKMATE *
