The Glove Maker
A novel
A LOVE THAT NEVER ENDS
Eleonore, Paula, Tess – grandmother, mother, and granddaughter are bound together by a dark secret from the time of World War Two. Everything begins with some fado lyrics that fascinate Tess so much that she spontaneously flies to Lisbon to trace her grandfather’s unfulfilled love for a glove maker. The melancholy fado and pulsating Lisbon – two pieces of a puzzle. Now, Tess wants to put all the pieces together. Will she succeed in uncovering the true story of her family? Her search not only leads the young woman to the end of the world in Patagonia, but also to herself. A fascinating novel set in different time periods and with changing perspectives that the author masterfully interweaves.
Manuela Martini, born in Mainz, in 1963, has written more than 20 novels, crime stories, and thrillers (partly under the pseudonyms Lou Peabody and Fran Ray). The Glove Maker is her first family novel. The writer has been living on the Iberian Peninsula for many years.
