Review Quotes:

“Soledad Maura has written a book for our times, an age of multinational wanderers, exiles and refugees, of people living in two countries, two cultures and two languages. Here, through the fragile voice of her bi-national narrator, Maura poignantly reveals how only by unveiling the hidden past of her family can she finally resolve the disturbing contradictions of her own identity.”–Alan Riding, author of And The Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris

“The tempo of Madrid Again carries you effortlessly from beginning to end. The story is fascinating…and has all the unmistakable ingredients of exile. The writing is strong and bold and often thankfully tender.” –Gloria García Lorca, Artist and Poet
