Waiting for Robert Capa

By Susana Fortes

Book Overview

Susana Fortes offers a gorgeously written, English Patient -style novel about the real-life romance between two photojournalists furiously in love: Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. During the Spanish Civil War, Capa and Taro risked everything documenting Francisco Franco's Fascist uprising--even as they risked everything for love. The two artists' passion stands out in sharp relief against the terrifying realities of war in this internationally acclaimed novel, a book that will resonate with fans of Possession , Loving Frank , Suite Francaise , and Pan's Labyrinth . With a film adaptation already underway from producer Michael Mann ( Public Enemies , The Insider , Manhunter , Collateral ), Fortes' Waiting for Robert Capa is a tale that will touch millions of hearts, mixing the poignancy of a timeless love story with the immediacy of a vivid snapshot from a bygone era.
