Here’s the set-up:
You will love, and you will lose, but then what?
For the narrator of The Girl From Tenerife, finding his true love is a blessing and a curse. She inspires him to achieve greater things than he ever thought he could, even to challenge the mighty Ernest Hemingway for his heavyweight belt as the champion of literature. She reminds him what it is to be alive, and to open his heart long after he’d sealed it off.
But this love comes at a price. It is a doomed and forbidden love that will cost him and threaten to undo his very soul.

“My heart ached at the end,” 5-Star review
“There is a paragraph at the very beginning, that sticks with you the more you read.. and the more you question……. and at the end….This book has had an effect on me….. I now need to read Hemingway.. something that has never really concerned me before….. it has also made me wish I was Beautiful… and Spanish.. and I worked in a bar…. I have long admired this author for his books….. now, after reading this, and the way it is written….. I think I am a little bit in love with him as a person too!” 5-Star review
“Tenerife features Schaffer’s trademark sharp-as-a-tack character banter, hilariously awkward moments and just enough crushing reality to remind you that it’s okay to laugh, but you’re not reading a comedy,” 5-Star review by author David Hulegaard
