The Spanish Bow by Andromeda
Romano-Lax
Wonderful For A Number Of Reasons.
I was almost born Happy. So begins The Spanish Bow and the remarkable
history of Feliu Delargo, who just misses being Feliz by a
misunderstanding at his birth, which he barely survives.
The accidental bequest of a cello bow from his dead father sets Feliu on
the course of becoming a musician, unlikely given his beginnings in a
dusty village in Catalonia. When he is compelled to flee to anarchist
Barcelona, his education in music, life, and politics begins. But it isn’t until
he arrives at the court of the embattled monarchy in Madrid that passion
enters the composition with Aviva, a virtuoso violinist with a haunted past.
As Feliu embarks on affairs, friendships, and rivalries, forces propelling the
world toward a catastrophic crescendo sweep Feliu along in their wake.

The Spanish Bow is a haunting fugue of music, politics, and passion set
against half a century of Spanish history, from the tail end of the nineteenth
century up through the Spanish Civil War and World War II.
Personal Review: The Spanish Bow by Andromeda Romano-Lax
This author wrote a book about the Sea of Cortez, following in the
footsteps of John Steinbeck. I enjoyed the book, and went looking for
some more of her work. I happened upon "The Spanish Bow", and loved
it. She has managed to write a compelling story that is unique and almost
feels like a biography. I liked the book so much I emailed her, and she
answered! She said she originally started to write a biography of Pablo
Casals, but then branched out into a novel of fiction. The result is
excellent.
