Cabedelo

Your Winding Daybreak Ways #6

by Gary Bargatze

Based in part on the triangular relationship between Johannes Brahms and Clara and Robert Schumann, this sixth book in the Your Winding Daybreak Ways series opens as a nervous but relieved graduate student, Sam, races down the marble staircase and exits Redman Hall. The first interview with his graduate school mentor has gone so much better than he could have ever expected. They have so much in common. The same hometown; the same public school; the same classical instruction; and even one of the professor's old classmates and Sam share a last name. After a painful breakup with a married woman whom he meets on campus, Sam discovers the love of his life, Danielle, a young Iberian novelist, who is purportedly the daughter of the late Portuguese poet, Bianca. As the pair reconstructs the story of Bianca's time in America, Sam and Danielle discover a secret, which could keep them apart forever.

[Sheila Keenan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gary Bargatze:
Wow! what a great ending! I just finished Cabedelo, and I loved the story, my favorite in the series so far! For me, it proved an emotional thrill enhanced by love and loss, passion and romance. I especially loved Sam Lynch for his enduring spirit. What comes next for him? I'm desperately wanting to now! Cabedelo remains a staunch reminder that one can never be too sure about what lies around the corner; the mysteries of life, love, and longing prevail for all of us.

Another bonus to Cabedelo: learning about the beauty of Portugal, its people and culture. Reading one of your novels always enriches my mind, my heart, and my soul. Cabedelo did not disappoint! Looking forward to the next one.
