Publisher Synopsis
'Waiting for Robert Capa moves artfully between fact and fiction, with a stunningly evoked backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. Susana Fortes is the real thing: a world-class novelist who brings all of her considerable talents to bear on this brief, affecting story." Jay Parini, author of The Last Station and The Passages of H.M. 'sweeping, beautiful imagery and keen human emotion. Fortes is an award-winning Spanish novelist and she manages to convey a passionate joy in her country whilst writing convincingly from an outsider's point of view. Waiting For Robert Capa is smoothly translated...There's a good deal of action but it's also a novel about the power of ideas, and, ultimately, a grand historical romance.'
