El Intento: Novela

Rate this book
¿Es posible el amor entre una editora exigente y un vagabundo con sueños de libertad? Alma Reyes tiene con los vagabundos de Manhattan una relación donde se mezclan culpa y compasión, hasta el día en que sus pasos cruzan los del atractivo Gabriel. Su relación crece al azar de las calles y las ocasionales conversaciones con el errante conmueven a Alma más de lo que quisiera, sobre todo después de haberlo visto bañarse una noche de luna llena en un estanque de Central Park. Historia de amor poco probable, El Intento es a su vez una profunda reflexión sobre la belleza y la búsqueda del ser, entre mandatos de la sociedad y aquellos del alma. En 2021, la novela y su autora fueron incluidas en la lista de autores y libros recomendados por la “Cátedra Siglo Maestros y maestras de talleres de lectura y escritura” de la Universidad Finis Terrae en Santiago de Chile.
