<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Winner of the Gival Press Novel Award</p><p> </p><p>"...De la Cuesta's novel maintains an accumulating power which holds onto a reader's attention not only through the forceful figure of Ordóñez, but by demonstrating acutely how ordinary lives are impacted by the underlying social and political landscape. Compelling reading."</p><p>--Tom Tolnay, publisher, <br /> Birch Brook Press and author of <strong><em>Selling America</em></strong> and <strong><em>This Is the Forest Primeval</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>"Barbara de la Cuesta's <em>The Spanish Teacher</em> has everything to thrill you--pace, a great balance of description, gesture and action, charmed, perfectly-tuned dialogue, and most notably, a character we follow as closely and sympathetically as if we were living right there inside the story with him... So many books show us a character who seems to capably hang and move like marionettes from the strings of a fairly competent puppeteer, but rarely do we see a full drama like this, where every bit of the writing extends from, grows out of, is part and parcel with the author's complete realization of and connection to her character..."</p><p>--Don Berger, judge for the Gival Press Novel Award</p>
