The Road To Somorrostro by Julia Slack

Secrets, secrets, secrets… everyone seems to have one in this book.

Margarita and Eva keep the secret that they have been friends forever.

Eva and Kiko keep the secret that they are lovers.

Carmen has kept her own secret about who the father of Margarita is for 17 years. Will she keep it longer?

We meet these three women and follow them in this character-driven book that has you wanting to know exactly what is going to happen to each character. 

You will feel for each character and their plights and decisions.

There are quite a few characters to keep track of.

I was confused at first with all the characters, and also with the chapters that didn't identify the person speaking, but the story line came together because of the descriptive writing that took you right into the lives of the characters.

Be sure to brush up on your Spanish phrases and enjoy learning about Somorrostro.

I have been to Barcelona and walked Las Ramblas and have seen Gaudi’s work so that was fun to relive it.  4/5

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
