Shadows
Out of darkness, light will shine...
Amy Hardy once lived a life full of colour, but a tragic
accident has turned her world to shadows. Determined to embrace her new life,
Amy sets off on the famous Compostela pilgrimage, hoping to find light in the
darkness and a new path.
Accompanying her on her journey is Luke Patterson a man
whose own troubled past casts dark shadows over his life. He’s hoping that
guiding Amy will be a distraction from his own troubles.
But as Luke and Amy travel through the stunning scenery of
Northern Spain, following in footsteps of those travellers before them, they
feel a connection to each other. And as their bond grows, a love story from the
distant past emerges before them, forcing them to confront their own secrets,
pain and feelings for each other.
Can a story of courage and bravery help them both to emerge
from the shadows into the light once more?
Under A Spanish Sky is an enchanting novel about the search
for happiness, fulfilment…and above all love.
My Thoughts
This is a great read for those who enjoy a dual timeline romance. Set in Northern Spain, it follows the journeys of two sets of people who are following in the footsteps of the pilgrims who are going to Compostela. There are striking similarities in the two sets of travellers but both are rooted in their own time. As Luke and Amy make their way in a present day journey, they wonder how previous travellers lived. As they devise their own story based around 14th century characters, you follow such a pair who are embarking on a dangerous mission.
Both the main female characters in both story threads have lost their sight and are fully reliant on their companions. They both prove to be brave and determined young women. The relationships between the women and their guides deepens as the journeys unfold as both reconsider what they want for their futures. There is plenty of intrigue and action within the novel and you see the worse and best of human nature playing out. I found it to be an enjoyable read. particularly suitable for my recent visit to sunny Spain!
In short: danger and romance
