Intermezzo of the Longing Hearts

By Roberto de Haro

Book Overview

"A sprawling saga illuminating the interregnum between World Wars I and II. Quentin's French lover, Nadine, emerges as an expansive and fearless character. She becomes an important player in the quiet, secret, initial resistance to Hitler's ethnic cleansing."

-Cheryl Fields, writer and managing editor, Change Magazine

"A fascinating read. Haro's sequel to Twist of Fate follows Nadine and Quentin during the tumultuous years 1919 to 1939. Their love affair continues during the 'Roaring Twenties, ' the Great Depression and emerging European Fascism. Before getting together, World War II begins, promising them a collision course with destiny."

-I. M. Heyman, former Chancellor, University of California, Berkeley and former Secretary, Smithsonian Institution

"Haro's sequel to Twist of Fate continues Nadine and Quentin's love story. They find temporary happiness but face great challenges in this literate, fascinating novel of pre-World War II. International intrigue and behind-the-scenes politics make this an important historical novel."

-Colleen Rae, author of Nearly Naked, and Correspondent, Local Observer, Saugatuck, MI

"The adventure continues, and so does the entrancing reading. Fans of Twist of Fate will be delighted to explore Nadine and Quentin's world. Those who didn't read it should finish Intermezzo and read the first book as a 'prequel.'"

-Juan Mestas, Chancellor, University of Michigan, Flint
