Fiction
The Light in Isabel's Eyes
by Edmée Pardo
Description
Four characters cross paths in a hospital: a woman about to give birth; a family facing the inexplicable death of one of their own; a man who falls ill; and a teenager persecuted among hundreds of women in an oppressive town. Their life is intertwined with secondary characters with whom they mix as they walk towards their separate destinies.
In a violent city in the middle of the desert, death, birth, love, pain, and revenge are joined by the shadow of God or maybe by the shadow casted by his absence. Weaved in a net of actions that develops at full speed through a clean and poetic prose, this is a story that hurts and heals at the same time.
This novel speaks of God and Spirit, of inner strength and emptiness, of solitude and communion, also of hope.
