When he is compelled to flee to anarchist Barcelona, his education in music, life, and politics begins. But it isn’t until he arrives at the court of the embattled monarchy in Madrid that passion enters the composition with Aviva, a virtuoso violinist with a haunted past. As Feliu embarks on affairs, friendships, and rivalries, forces propelling the world toward a catastrophic crescendo sweep Feliu along in their wake.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Spanish Bow\u003c\/em\u003e is a haunting fugue of music, politics, and passion set against half a century of Spanish history, from the tail end of the nineteenth century up through the Spanish Civil War and World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR\u003cem\u003e THE SPANISH BOW\u003c\/em\u003e     \"Ambition, imagination, and luck are equal components of art and, this book seems to suggest, of political life.
