Me lo recomendaron. No había leído nada de Angela Becerra hasta entonces. Lo leí hace un tiempo y segurísimo que volveré a leerlo. Cada frase es digna de subrayar. Pura poesía. Una forma de narrar preciosa. Atrapa en cada página.

Sencillamente, la historia de amor más bonita que he leído. Amor incondicional, intemporal, arrollador.

Libro mágico. Precioso. Diferente. De esos que te quedan clavados en el alma. De esos que cuando los cierras, respiras hondo.


Todo un descubrimiento. Lo recomiendo infinito. “El penúltimo sueño” te hace soñar. ( )

Novela para enamorarse del realismo mágico, descubrir buena música y conocer las comidas típicas que menciona la autora. Un libro que va del presente al pasado continuamente y a la inversa. Haciéndonos perder entre sus páginas. ( )

Muy buen libro, su narración es esquisita. Este género innovador que maneja Angela Becerra, llamado Realismo Mágico es un ejemplo de una buena literatura.

Una vez más, Angela Becerra nos impacta con su romanticismo. La historia gira alrededor del romance que tuvieron Joan Dolgut y Soledad Urdaneta, un amor que al igual que a Romeo y Julieta, los lleva a la muerte. Solucionar el misterio de su muerte esta en manos de sus respectivos hijos quienes durante ese recorrido van fortaleciendo su conexión y atracción hacia el otro. Este no es el típico libro de amor donde todo es color rosa. El drama y el suspenso también juegan un papel importante en la narración. ( )
