La isla de los amores infinitos

An enchanting multigenerational epic of three families - from Africa, Spain, and China - and their bond to one another and the island they call home. Cecilia is alone in a city that haunts her. Life in Miami evokes memories of Cuba: a scent in the breeze like the sea at the Malecón; the beat of a clave recalls island evenings when couples danced to forgotten rhythms. Far from her family, her history, and her home, Cecilia seeks refuge in a bar in Little Havana, where a mysterious old woman's fascinating tale keeps her returning night after night. It is a story of three families from opposite corners of the world - from Africa, Spain, and China - that spans more than a century. Within it, a Chinese widow seeks protection for her daughter in her family's idols; an African slave brings the rhythms of her birth to an enchanted island; and a curse dances before the female descendants of a charmed Spanish matriarch, forming the mythic origins of one family's indestructible bond. The connection strengthens with each generation into a legendary, unbreakable love. Under the story's heady sway, Cecilia begins to discover the source of the elusive shadows that plague her and, along with it, a link to the past she cannot shake.

  • "The Island of Eternal Love is an historical family saga with many plot lines and an atmosphere charged with mystery. -- P. [4] of cover."
  • "Miami, 1998. Pour vaincre l'isolement, Cecilia, jeune journaliste cubaine exilée, trouve refuge, un soir, dans un bar musical où elle rencontre Amalia, une vieille femme expatriée elle aussi. Cette dernière lui livre d'étonnants secrets et se met bientôt à lui conter les histoires de familles vieilles de plus d'un siècle. Ce roman s'inscrit dans la tradition du réalisme magique."
  • "Para huir de su soledad en Miami, Cecilia se refugia en un bar donde conoce a una misteriosa anciana. Tras ese primer encuentro, regresará al bar cada noche para escuchar de labios de la mujer tres historias que se habían iniciado, más de un siglo atrás, en otros tantos lugares del mundo: un suicidio en China que desata una cadena de reacciones familiares; una extraña maldición que persigue a ciertas mujeres en un pueblo español, y una joven arrancada de su hogar en la costa africana, que es llevada a un mundo desconocido. Las peripecias de estos personajes se irán entrelazando a lo largo del tiempo.--Desde la descripción de la editorial."
