I've always been interested in the Spanish Civil War and this book really brings it to life, wrapping it around a love story. Left me wanting to find out more about the war and the characters. As a book should. ( )
A World Between Us is an outstanding debut novel for teenagers, set in the Spanish civil war. In a historical note, Lydia Syson quotes a speech made by Dolores Ibárruri, La Pasionaria, at a farewell parade in Barcelona in 1938. "Go proudly. You are history. You are legend. You are the heroic example of the solidarity and the universality of democracy … We will not forget you." She was addressing the tens of thousands of international volunteers who had come to the aid of the republicans as they struggled to repel the fascist forces that threatened Spain....Syson has written an affecting story that takes its protagonists on a gruelling journey through a war-torn landscape. Picasso's Guernica continues to bear witness to that city's tragic fate; this accomplished wartime romance will enthral while reminding you why he painted it.
