Über diesen Titel

At once an epic family drama and a sweeping love story that spans both an ocean and a generation, Palm Trees in the Snow is an emotionally gripping and historically vivid tale of the secrets that can destroy a family - and the bonds that endure.

When Clarence of Rabaltué discovers a series of old letters from her father's past, she begins to doubt everything she thought she knew about her once-noble family. Her father and his brother worked in the colony of Fernando Po, but these letters tell a different story than the tales of life in Africa that made it to the dinner table. Clarence has no idea what really went on during their time at the cocoa plantations - or why no one in her family has ever returned to the island in all the years since. But the letters suggest that a great love story is buried beneath the years of silence.

Setting out from her home in Spain's snowy mountains, Clarence makes the same journey across the sea that her uncle and father traveled before her. There, she unlocks the painful secrets her family has hidden in the rich African soil. But what she discovers may also be the key to awakening her own listless heart.

An interesting family saga steeped in the history of island of Matabo and a distant part of the Pyrenees in Spain, with valuable insights into the political side as well as of everyday life on the cocoa plantations. One is quickly enthralled by the characters, their romances and the intrigues as of the beautiful island in Equatorial Guinea and Pasolobino. Two places I personally had to look up on a map. A good story till the end and well read with a nice change over between the two readers.

Family Saga between colonial times and the present
