## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent writing
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2015*

I totally enjoyed reading this novel. I bought it for an online book group and expected a light story with not much substance. There's lots of substance as each person is well developed. The main topic is about a middle aged Spanish woman, a professor of linguistics with a successful career who has her ups and downs. Reader gets to see a bit of how the educational system is structured and also some Spanish history as part of the story revolves around a Spanish professor who has a falling out with the Spanish Communist Party after WWII. Characters are very well developed and the story line is woven so that the ending is a good one.  I recommend this novel and plan to buy Duenas other novels.  It is a wonderfully easy read as Duenas is an excellent writer.

    Such a disappointment. Her first book was one of my favorites ...
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017*

Such a disappointment.  Her first book was one of my favorites ever.  I have given it as gifts to so many people.  An underlying problem is that the English translation of the newer book, done by a different person, was godawful - riddled with mistakes and poor English -- I cannot believe that this translator is a native speaker of English.  This book had little to care about. Characters were trivial, plot naive about California culture, glorifies missions (with a few exculpatory sentences that look like they were added after someone pointed out the problem to her).  Second novels are tough.  If she writes a third one, my advice is to definitely get a new translator but this whole book is just off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very enjoyable book
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018*

Although most certainly not as deep as her first book"A time in between", "The heart has its reasons" was well written and the characters were believable.  The English translation left quite a few gaps, unfortunately.  I would rate it 4 1/2 stars.  I am now in the middle of her third book "The vineyard", and can say BRAVO! you're back to a solid 5 star rating with that one!
