All This I Will Give to You
All This I Will Give to You | Dolores Redondo
36 posts | 25 read | 32 to read
The award-winning, international bestselling page-turner about the secrets and lies of one man that lead another into a treacherous house of strangers... When novelist Manuel Ortigosa learns that his husband, lvaro, has been killed in a car crash, it comes as a devastating shock. It won't be the last. He's now arrived in Galicia. It's where lvaro died. It's where the case has already been quickly closed as a tragic accident. It's also where lvaro hid his secrets. The man to whom Manuel was married for fifteen years was not the unassuming man he knew. lvaro's trail leads Manuel deep into one of Spain's most powerful and guarded families. Behind the walls of their forbidding estate, Manuel is nothing but an unwelcome and dangerous intruder. Then he finds two allies: a stubbornly suspicious police lieutenant and lvaro's old friend--and private confessor--from seminary school. Together they're collecting the pieces of lvaro's past, his double life, and his mysterious death. But in the shadows of nobility and privilege, Manuel is about to unravel a web of corruption and deception that could be as fatal a trap for him as it was for the man he loved.

Read as a book in translation for my own little challenge of the year. The language in this is at times distractingly over the top - sentences and sentences where a word@or two might have worked but because of dispute this I found this mystery about an aristocratic family dark and compelling. Galicia is at times a character with its unpredictable weather and folklore. Lots of trigger warning lots of deaths!

A murder-mystery set in Galicia, with an aristocratic family, an outsider-writer, an ex-policeman and a priest. Plus Gardenias. A LOT of people wind up dead in this!

When Manuel‘s husband dies, his whole other world is uncovered to Manuel. Quite a slow read for the first half, lots of character, grief, atmosphere and life in galicia, but I really enjoyed this. #readaroundtheworld #spain

Finished this just in time for March I wasn‘t expecting it to be quite as long as it was 490 pages.

I enjoyed this murder mystery which explored the attitudes of an ancient Spanish family with the reality of modern life.

This is not a fast paced thriller instead it is a character driven introspective novel .

I really enjoyed the wine making sections

rockpools I‘m *almost* finished- but am really enjoying it! 3y

If you‘re doing #BFC21 and any of the place-based challenges, I stumbled across a fun app last night! World Walking connects up with your fitbit (or whatever) and Google Street View. There are ‘walks‘ from all around the world (or right around the world if you feel that way given). I‘m currently ambling through Galicia with the tagged book, stopping to admire the scenery every so often.

BookwormM Sounds fun 3y
rockpools @BookwormM It seems really nicely done - It might even motivate me to move!! Obviously I‘m planning to walk the length of New Zealand next month... 3y

Velvetfur Oh that sounds like The Conqueror walks that I do! Is this one free though? (The Conqueror provides a medal so that's what one pays for) Your one sounds really good 🙂 I loved this book too, what do you think of it so far? 3y
rockpools @Velvetfur 🥇 cool! Yes, this is a freebie - put together by a Heart Health group in Inverclyde. As you do! It‘s very neat so far - the idea of actually going somewhere is definitely helping me move! And yes, I‘m loving the book so far! It‘s SO not what I was expecting!! 3y
rockpools @Velvetfur Where have you been with The Conqueror? 3y
Velvetfur @rockpools that sounds great! And yes the book is full of surprises 😁 The first walk I did was the Camino de Santiago across Spain (ending up in Galicia, like you!), then I did Mount Fuji, now I'm doing St Francis Way down Italy, and my next one will be the Inca Trail in Perú 🙂 3y
rockpools @Velvetfur Wow! You‘ve walked serious miles!!! That‘s fab 😊 3y

Love this so far. It‘s a gothicy literary crime mystery type thing (spot on with the genres, as always). Kind of slow and moody, but absorbing. Also, gardenias (I don‘t have any to photo tho!).

When Manuel‘s husband Álvaro dies in a car accident on an empty road, miles from where he should be, his other life is revealed. After the funeral, a retiring policeman takes Manuel to one side: he believes Álvaro was murdered, ‘another cover-up‘...

Reggie This sounds great! 3y

This translated book took me 20 days to finish - just in time for last night‘s IRL (zoom) bookclub. I always liked but it wasn‘t until my kindle was at 64% complete that I was invested. Then I couldn‘t stop thinking about it as I felt like I was one with the trio intricately solving this mystery.

This #crime novel set in Galicia, Spain is truly a page turner. Manuel learns his husband died in a car accident, and then discovers his secret life in Galicia. While settling Alvaro‘s vast estate which includes a dysfunctional, rich family, Manuel finds Alvaro‘s best friend (a priest) and a bitter retired detective who refuses to accept an “accident” occurred; this unlikely trio goes on to solve mysteries surrounding Alvaro‘s death. 4/5 ⭐️

These are the nights for which Kindles are made.

Book is good as well. A “First Reads” from Kindle if I remember correctly. A middle aged man is left a vast estate by his late husband who had a secret life he knew nothing about. Halfway through and all kinds of drama and intrigue. #kindle

A gripping story with a masterful writing. You Can't possibly stop it once you start reading. But I didn't like a few things: some plot lines ,I felt, are a bit too implausible (eg a legion of hair-splittingly accurate
witness), the extreme polarization of the good and bad and that it's too long(500 pages).

I absolutely loved this lit fic-esque crime thriller. Well plotted, beautifully written (and translated) and totally absorbing, it really is an excellent example of the genre. The characters were fabulous - the deliciously horrific 'Raven' being the best/worst. The lightning-lit rooftop denouement was just utterly fabulous & I demand Manuel, Lucas & Nogueira become a full time crime busting trio. I'd definitely buy that series. Sooooo good!

DGRachel I have this on my shelves but haven‘t gotten to it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think I won it in a Goodreads giveaway. 4y

Yes, maybe it's too much dramatic, but I like it a lot!
It was really enjoyable! I got really into it very easily and the true identity of the killer has been a surprise to me!
So good! I really have to thank my sister for this!

I prefer having silence while I'm reading and if I can't have it I put my headphones on and select music without lyrics so I will not be distracted by it!

The first two-thirds or so of this book was engrossing but very slow-moving (at one point I thought “Has it only been a week since Álvaro's death? It feels more like a month.“). But then the revelations and action come thick and fast in the final third not giving the readers a chance to catch their breath.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the author's other books.

quote

All This I Will Give to You | Dolores Redondo

Manuel was skeptical. “A crocodile with a heart of gold.”

“Sometimes even the worst degenerates have one. That‘s what‘s confusing. If the good folks were good and the bad ones were simply bad, the world would be a lot easier for everybody."

Amazing novel! It's described as a thriller, but I'd classify it as more of a mystery. It came together nicely at the end and I am extremely impressed by both the author and translator!

Written in Spanish by Dolores Redondo and translated into English by Michael Meigs. Redondo is also the author of the immensely popular Baztán trilogy. When Spanish businessman Álvaro is killed in a car accident, his writer husband, Manuel, is suddenly made aware of a secret life that Álvaro never mentioned. Highly recommend this mystery set in Spain! ? #translation #womenauthors #Spain

A pleasant surprise from World Book Day. An atmospheric, taut modern gothic mystery set in Galicia, Spain. I highly recommend. It may still even be free on Kindle.

Love is complicated. Grief is overwhelming. And anger can be fuel. There is lovely prose in this book. Redondo has done a fantastic job setting her scene and describing her characters. However, there are too many characters. Cut, cut, cut! More on that in my extended review on the website ☝️.
Rated 3/5

The novel although a murder mystery finds a way to wrap you in a delicate world. Dolores writes with a flair that both entrances you and lets you live this novel‘s dark underbelly. I can only imagine the full beauty that her writing would hold in her native language. If you can read Spanish I highly recommend enjoying this novel in the original language.
