El Penultimo Sueno [Spanish]

by Ángela Becerra

Book Overview

Fifty years ago, the beaches of Cannes set the stage for Joan and Soledad's first love. Half a century after having gone their separate ways, the two are reunited in an uncanny but romantic way-their corpses are found together, dressed up in nuptial attire.

La inspiracion necesaria para perseguir el amor de mi vida

Palabras no pueden expresar lo mucho que me gusto este libro. Desde la primera pagina la intriga de los personajes te envuelve llebandote a lugares inolvidables. Becerra te cautiva con su lenguaje y palabras exquicitas. Y una ves que te encuentras con tu pagina preferida no podras parar hasta el final. Este libro cambio mi vida, gracias ha este libro creo ciegamente en el amor y por esto mil gracias angela becerra.

El penultimo sueño

I purchased this book after seeing an interview of Angela Becerra on t.v. The topic impressed me because the book she said took place between South America and Spain. My surprise was that from page one, she totally engrosses you with her characters that by the time you get to chapter 2, you feel as though you are part of the novel. The author has a beautiful way with words, and meshes her characters and situations in such a refined way, that you do not notice the transition. Her novel begins with a circle on page one and the whole story ends in a circle on the last page. Her descriptions are so real and the way her characters evolve is just wonderful. El Penultimo Sueño is one of my two most loved novels, the first being Don Quijote de la Mancha. I HIGHLY recommend this book and only hope that she write more books soon. It is a book that you hate to see the book is ending as you read. I am on the lookout for any future work by this author. It truly is a wonderful story!

Excelente narraci?

Este es uno de los pocos libros que me han ocupado totalmente y no puede tomar mis tiempos libres para otra cosa que no fuera continuar ley?ndolo. Es una historia de amor que transciente generaciones. La Narrativa es clara y resfrescante. Me impact? mucho la historia narrada y creo que la imaginaci?n de Angela es muy coherente. Basadaa en el sue?o que todos tenemos de amar a travez de uno mismo y pasar el poder del amor que sentimos y que resurga, se manifieste y continue a travez de nuestros hijos y nietos.

100% recomendable

Una de las novelas más lindas que he leído; una historia de amor brillantemente escrita, en la que la autora hila muy bien las dos diferentes épocas en las que se lleva a cabo la historia. Le encantará, no hay pierde.
