Our Last Days in Barcelona
Book Feature - Our Last Days in Barcelona by Chanel Cleeton
HBL Note: There are some authors that you’ll read anything they ever write. Chanel Cleeton is one of those authors for me. There is just something about her style that captivates me: her beautiful prose, stories that suck you in, and filled with rich history. I’m such a big fan. I’ve reviewed her previous novels including Next Year in Havana, When We Left Cuba, The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba, and The Last Train to Key West. In OUR LAST DAYS IN BARCELONA, we learn the story of Isabel Perez when she arrives in Barcelona in 1936 as a young girl after a long journey from Cuba with her mother Alicia; and then later, in 1964 Isabel returns to Barcelona in search of her missing sister, Beatriz.

From the publisher:
Barcelona, 1964. Exiled from Cuba after the revolution, Isabel Perez has learned to guard her heart and protect her family at all costs. After Isabel’s sister Beatriz disappears in Barcelona, Isabel goes to Spain in search of her. Joining forces with an unlikely ally thrusts Isabel into her sister’s dangerous world of espionage, but it’s an unearthed piece of family history that transforms Isabel’s life.
Barcelona, 1936. Alicia Perez arrives in Barcelona after a difficult voyage from Cuba, her marriage in jeopardy and her young daughter Isabel in tow. Violence brews in Spain, the country on the brink of civil war, the rise of fascism threatening the world. When Cubans journey to Spain to join the International Brigades, Alicia’s past comes back to haunt her as she is unexpectedly reunited with the man who once held her heart.
Alicia and Isabel’s lives intertwine, and the past and present collide, as a mother and daughter are forced to choose between their family’s expectations and following their hearts.
