Par Angy Skay. 2018
"Micaela Bravo's joyful Christmas celebrations cease when, at the age of twelve, someone, whom she believed to be her family,…
rips her childhood away from her and destroys what she loves most. All her loved ones are mercilessly murdered and she is outraged and assaulted to such an extent that her assailants think they have ended her life. In her last breath, her soul is impregnated with a vengeful feeling that will make her take the reins of her life a few years later, through a dark and gloomy world where mafias and danger are constant. In another part of the planet, a contract killer receives a call that will change his existence completely when he discovers a list of six names, having to assassinate each person in order, according to his former instructor, Anker Megalos." -- Translation provided by NLSAusencio (Narrativa (Almadía Ediciones))
Par Antonio Vásquez. 2018
"The death of Ausencio, a drunken and irresponsible father, unleashes the demons that dwell inside Arturo, his eldest son, who…
as a result of this loss will fall into a spiral of sadness, remorse, and despair, which will lead him to face the same vice that overshadowed the possibilities of happiness in his childhood and youth. Mourning becomes a shadow that looms over all his actions and thoughts, and his present becomes a continuous wandering through bad memories and black omens. The abandonment and humiliation to which alcohol leads him cause him to fall out with the town and his loved ones. Ausencio is the story of a descent into hell, of a son who fears repeating his father's mistakes, of a young man who seems to be followed by three ghostly women to announce a fateful destiny, of a man who flees and exposes himself in the open to the face of his death." -- Translation provided by NLSLa canción del ángel: una novela
Par Sheila Walsh. 2011
"Ann Fletcher has returned to Charleston to see her younger sister Sarah receive her master's degree. But she soon finds…
herself riding in the back of an ambulance, watching helplessly as Sarah fights for her life. As they race to the hospital, Sarah talks to someone who is not there...and hums a melody Ann has never heard before. That unfamiliar, unearthly beautiful melody keeps finding Ann--first in the hospital chapel, then in her dreams, and finally in Sarah's empty house. Two neighbors have a profound effect on Ann. Ethan McKinney lends her a shoulder to lean on. And as a carpenter, he volunteers to help Ann get the Fletcher family home into shape for selling. His strong presence is a pleasing distraction. Ann's twelve-year-old neighbor, Keith, has Down Syndrome and the guile to believe he can actually see and hear angels. In fact, he insists they are looking out for her in ways she's never imagined. God begins to reveal himself to Ann--both in her newfound friends and through supernatural events. As she discovers the very real presence of angels around her, will she finally open her heart to receive God's healing love?" -- GoodreadsEcos
