Madrid Metro

by Abigail Kloss-Aycardi

"Jess had been intensely occupied with wiping Olivia's face. He couldn't tell if she was breathing or not and was too afraid to check for a pulse. The idea of losing her when he had only just found her was beyond consideration. Resting his forehead against hers, he began speaking softly to her, 'Please don't leave me. Please hang on. There's so much to tell you.'"

A powerful derailment on the Madrid Metro throws the lives of three people together and changes them forever as they are forced to see life from a different perspective:
Olivia Polansky the American poet, Jess Wilkinson the Londoner on holiday and Maritza Caballero de Lezcano a Panamanian widow on a mission to rectify the wrongdoing of another.
Madrid Metro is a story of hope, faith, endurance and love despite injustice, tragedy and disappointment.

About the author

“In situations where most kids and teens would throw fits, run away or just become completely rebellious, Abigail turned to writing poetry to release her most intense emotions.

Four books and fourteen years of marriage later, little has changed.

With her well-chosen words, Abigail captures the deepest feelings that most people experience and try to conceal or are simply unable to explain. To read her poetry is to open your soul and see your own emotions in writing for the first time.”

I have to start by saying that Abigail is my niece, so I am trying my best to write an unbiased review of her book. I also have to admit putting off reading this book. What if it was poorly written?...what would I say to her? So glad I finally read it. I loved everything about it. Her characters came to life, were well described and easy to identify and empathize with. Very well written with just the right amount of dialogue and description. I loved how she weaved the lives of these "broken" people together. The poetry at the end of the book was exquisite. A story of true love, healing, and redemption. I hope to read more from this aspiring author.
