Reviews
' . . . 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.', '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!', '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.'
Synopsis
How can the words of the past help heal the horror of the present For as long as she can remember, Barbara Spiel has always found solace in books. Born in Germany and having come of age in a tumultuous era, she flees her home country as the Nazis rise to power in the early 1930s. Her destination Madrid. There she's determined to realize her long-held dream of opening a bookshop and creating a safe haven for young idealists and independent thinkers to come together to transform the world. Yet Spain isn't immune from its own troubles. The winds of change are blowing through both city and countryside, and it's impossible to predict what will happen. When the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts Barbara and everyone around her in peril--including the Spanish Socialist parliamentarian she's fallen deeply in love with--the terror and hatred seem all too familiar. It's like Germany all over again, only with its own cast of extremist characters. Hounded simultaneously by Stalinist checas, Francoist Facists, and the German Gestapo, Barbara fights to keep her bookstore the safe haven that she's always imagined it would be. But with war brewing both inside Spain and outside its borders throughout the entirety of Europe--and beyond--Barbara isn't sure who exactly she can trust, or if people really are who they claim to be. A story told with tremendous heart and astonishing historical accuracy, A Bookseller in Madrid is ultimately a story about dreams--dreaming with courage when nothing seems to make sense, and dreaming with hope when words printed on a page are all you can hold on to., How can the words of the past help heal the horror of the present? For as long as she can remember, Barbara Spiel has always found solace in books. Born in Germany and having come of age in a tumultuous era, she flees her home country as the Nazis rise to power in the early 1930s. Her destination? Madrid. There she's determined to realize her long-held dream of opening a bookshop and creating a safe haven for young idealists and independent thinkers to come together to transform the world. Yet Spain isn't immune from its own troubles. The winds of change are blowing through both city and countryside, and it's impossible to predict what will happen.

A story told with tremendous heart and astonishing historical accuracy, A Bookseller in Madrid is ultimately a story about dreams--dreaming with courage when nothing seems to make sense, and dreaming with hope when words printed on a page are all you can hold on to., An exciting and rigorously documented novel by one of the most translated and read Spanish authors in the world. This hopeful and inspiring story in the face of the horror of intolerance is, above all, an indisputable tribute to literature.
