Reviews of intimate novels
At first it was not clear to me what it was that caught my attention in this novel. His synopsis was presented simple, without great pretensions or an enigmatic plot. It is well that it was a love story, and that a romantic novel does not have to be covered with any sophistication. But …
Love stories, as a plot for a novel, can give much more of themselves than their pink aspect. In fact, they can be a fascinating common thread to introduce us to characters who live and feel with great intensity, but who also weather their shadows, the dark parts that are ...
The economic crisis and the undeniable parallel crisis of values is already a choral story. A microcosm of silenced voices amid cold statistics. Data and more data conveniently cooked for the pride of economic interests and political clappers of all kinds. The kisses in the ...
Choose. Freedom should basically be that. The consequences come later. Nothing heavier than being free to choose your destiny. Mario, the protagonist of this story, made his choice. Career promotion or love are always a good excuse to tip vital choices to one side or ...
Singular book by the well-known presenter Mónica Carrillo. Halfway between the micro-story, the aphorism and the single verse. A kind of urban poetry that dazzles from the first composition.
