A Captivating book !

Another beautifully written body of work by Alba Ambert. She allures you with her stories and magically welds each word like a true wordsmith. I loved every paragraph! Highly recommend it!

Captivating-true to the spirit of Puerto Rico.

Reading The Eighth Continent was like being on the island again. I felt captured by the image that each story left with me. The intensity of each character, the beliefs that still besets the people of this beautiful island. This is my first book by this author. Now I am enthralled by A Perfect Silence.
