A Spanish Lover

Two Sisters. Two Paths. One Life-Changing Escape.

In A Spanish Lover, Joanna Trollope explores the quiet complexities of family, identity, and the courage it takes to break free from expectation. Lizzie and Frances are identical twins with lives that could not be more different. Frances is the dependable one—rooted in family, responsibility, and routine. Lizzie is the dreamer, unpredictable and fiercely independent.

When Passion Challenges the Ordinary

When Lizzie abruptly decides to leave England for a new life in Spain with a man she barely knows, Frances is left to pick up the pieces—not just of her sister’s life, but of her own. As she grapples with Lizzie’s choices, Frances begins to question everything she thought she wanted: her marriage, her children, her carefully ordered world.

A Moving Portrait of Love and Self-Discovery

A Spanish Lover is a deeply human story about the bonds between sisters, the weight of responsibility, and the awakening of personal desire. With her trademark insight and elegant prose, Joanna Trollope delivers a powerful novel about transformation—how one woman’s bold decision can inspire another to finally find her voice.
