Description
Suzanne travels to Seville, Spain, to be with her future husband, Óscar.
While helping Oscar’s Abuela cook meals for the family, Suzanne hears the harrowing story of how Abuela and Óscar's Abuelo escaped the Spanish Civil War.
Abuela captivates Suzanne with her stories beginning with crossing the Pyrenees into France on foot while pregnant, then her and Abuelo’s immediate internment in French concentration camps, later life in France living under Nazi occupation, and finally, the detailed descriptions of the few heroes and many villains along the way.
These fascinating accounts are all told while Abuela gives Suzanne lessons in the art of Spanish cuisine.
Married to Spain is written as a form of translingual hybrid literature.

A fantastically compelling novel about the Spanish Civil War all readers will love! –Arlene Crewdson, Founder of Global Voices Initiative

Married To Spain is a riveting account of one couple’s escape from the Civil War in Spain. From their frightening passage over the Pyrenees on foot into France, their capture and incarceration in a concentration camp, to their attempts to escape and return home to Spain, the story plot keeps your attention from start to finish. The author’s personal connection to the couple weaved throughout makes the story and history of the times come alive. –Laura Pomeroy, Esquire"
