Beautiful Reading Experience

The Lazarus Rumba is written gorgeously, and the story is at times sweet, sad, passionate, magical. It's a beautiful reading experience.

Brilliant!

Brilliant! There is no other way to categorize this most special novel

A remarkable enthralling novel.

Forget those comparisions to Garcia-Marquez, Mr. Mestre's achievement is his and his alone. A beautiful, tragic, wonderful book that should be cherished for years to come. I can't wait for his next one.
