1913 in Venezuela. Antonio Borjas Romero was three days old when he was taken in by a beggar woman. In her diaper she finds a tobacco pouch with her identity on it. The little boy grew up doing odd jobs, eventually undertaking medical studies, during which he met the love of his life…
Miguel Bonnefoy is a recognized writer with notably the novels “Héritage” or “The Inventor” and, in this new story, he was inspired by the incredible life of his maternal grandparents who were each at their level great doctors . Their destinies are of course atypical but this book is truly exhilarating to read because the author’s style is truly “gargantuan”.
An abundant novel, extraordinary characters, inventive writing and you have all the ingredients for an excellent reading time!
