Beautiful, beautiful story. I cried and laughed for joy as I read it, and almost sang aloud during some moments--though they would seem to be the saddest of all. Though the writing is in older English with a style that would never be published today (Alcock seems to not be familiar with the phrase show don't tell), I was swiftly caught up in the story and the lives of the brothers. In angry moments my pulse beat faster and my eyes flew across the page; in grief-filled moments I felt their sorrow and wept with them; I shared their anxieties and laughed for joy as they discovered God more. Though I little cared for one minor plot twist, the story flowed beautifully in showing Gods power and grace, and that the blessedness of knowing Him overcomes all trials--even the torture chamber of the Inquisition.Though dozens of characters, some of whom are beloved to the reader, die in the story, Alcock amazingly shows scarce a violent scene. Save for a swordfight between boys in which one is slightly injured, all violent scenes are show in retrospect, either a character or the narrator telling what happened in briefest terms. We see not so much what happened to the martyrs, as how God upheld them through it. Still, this is not a children's book though excellent for highschoolers and I would also recommend caution in giving it to someone very sensitive to character hardships.The spiritual/theological content--mostly consisting of Catholic vs. Protestant--could be difficult to understand for those not accustomed to such subjects. For any Christian who has studied the Reformation at all, or knows their faith, it shouldn't be an unsurmountable issue.The main aspect of the book that I greatly appreciate is the historical accuracy. I believe the primary purpose of historical fiction is to reveal, enforce, and illustrate the Truth and Alcock did that excellently with this book. There are so many more things I could say about this book that made me love it so much, but that would be sharing plot points, so I will refrain.

One of the BEST of historical fiction, on the reformation period in Spain By Scottish Covenanters1688 This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I learned a great deal from it. It also breaks your heart, and makes you love Spain, and treasure God's word more, as you see how they suffered to hear and hold to it, particularly in Seville. It speaks of how the Bible was translated into Spanish and smuggled across the mountains to its people. It also shows the difference between loving a new and true idea, and loving "the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that lay before him endured the cross..." and can give us a life worth living and dying for in Him."Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still: His Kingdom is forever."Deborah Alcock was the daughter of a Presbyterian pastor in Ireland in the late 1800's and she wrote many wonderful historical fiction stories. They ought to be more known. Another great one is Done and Dared in Old France, No Cross No Crown, In the Shadow of the Almighty, and Under Calvin's Spell. Many are out of print, and hard to find, so I am glad Amazon and Nook carry some. Hope more will come! Inheritance Publications in Canada reprinted a number of them. They introduced me to this author. It is good to support their work too. And that of used book stores that might find you wonderful old copies.Enjoy...heart and soul.

We are using Spanish Brothers as a supplement in several subjects; Bible, language arts, vocabulary. I really enjoy the contents but it is hard to navigate around in the book on Kindle when the "Go to" does not list chapters. We spend a lot of time looking for where we are in it since we both read ahead in it. Otherwise it is great! Thank you
