Description
A young woman’s journey of discovery takes her to a world of forbidden passion, savage beauty – and revenge.
Spring, 1950. Alexandra de Falla, a half-English, half-Spanish young writer abandons her privileged but suffocating life in London and travels to Spain to be reunited with her long-estranged family.
Instead of providing the sense of belonging she yearns for, the de Fallas are riven by seething emotions, and in the grip of the wild customs and traditions of Andalucía, all of which are alien to Alexandra.
Among the strange characters and sultry heat of this country, she meets the man who awakens emotions she hardly knew existed. But their path is strewn with obstacles: dangerous rivals, unpredictable events, and inevitable indiscretions. What does Alexandra’s destiny hold for her in this flamboyant land of drama and all-consuming passions, where blood is ritually poured on to the sands of sun-drenched bullfighting arenas, mysterious gypsies are embroiled in magic and revenge, and beautiful dark-eyed dancers hide their secrets behind elegant lacy fans?
Indiscretion is a story of love and identity, and the clash of ideals in the pursuit of happiness. But can love survive in a world where scandal and danger are never far away?

Wow. Fully developed, intricate, intimate, heart wrenching-this novel is all these things and more. Hannah Fielding transports the reader to the tumultuous post war era of the late 1940s where the modern world is knocking on the door of long held beliefs and traditions. Her characters are being torn apart, literally leading a change in all society norms.
Set in lush Andalucia, Spain, this story reflects the political turmoil of that time and highlights the differences in culture between Spain and the majority of the rest of Europe. Myths, expectations, love and lust all collide to make one of the most compelling romances that I've read since Outlander. Seriously, five stars. An amazing novel that I felt like I could have highlighted the whole thing!
