Matador: A Novel

417 pp. "The scene of this novel is present day Granada--the very name suggests color and romance. There, in the Casa del Matador, lives Don Jose Diaz Marquez--once the great Bailarin, idol of the bull ring--and his three sons: Pepe, the rising young matador, a poor copy of his father; Miguel, the hunchback; and Juan, the poet and dreamer." "Marguerite Steen (12 May 1894 – 4 August 1975) was a British writer, most popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Her first major success was Matador (1934), for which she drew on her love of Spain, and of bullfighting."
