The Palace at the End of the Sea by Simon Tolkien. (Yes, a descendent of the Lord of the Rings Tolkien
The Palace at the End of the Sea is a historical novel by Simon Tolkien, the first book in the Theo Sterling series, which follows the coming-of-age journey of its protagonist, Theo Sterling, from New York City to Spain during the turbulent years leading up to the Spanish Civil War. The story explores themes of identity, ideology, and the search for a cause as Theo grapples with his complex heritage and the political and social upheavals of the era. I loved this book so much that I’m afraid to read the next two in the series. Has a
nyone ever had that experience?
