Summary:

Susana Fortes offers a gorgeously written, "English Patient"-style novel about the real-life romance between two photojournalists furiously in love: Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. During the Spanish Civil War, Capa and Taro risked everything documenting Francisco Franco's Fascist uprising--even as they risked everything for love. The two artists' passion stands out in sharp relief against the terrifying realities of war in this internationally acclaimed novel, a book that will resonate with fans of "Possession," "Loving Frank," "Suite Francaise," and "Pan's Labyrinth." With a film adaptation already underway from producer Michael Mann ("Public Enemies," "The Insider," "Manhunter," "Collateral"), Fortes' "Waiting for Robert Capa "is a tale that will touch millions of hearts, mixing the poignancy of a timeless love story with the immediacy of a vivid snapshot from a bygone era.
