Uncaged Songs: A Novel
The trouble with truth is it often gets you hurt.
And that it’s necessary.
And while most truths don’t seem to make much sense to pursue, one has the knack of turning lives upside-down.
But the journey towards it is never a straight line. It is more of a meandering through the world, through others and through you until, in your wanderings, you discover as if by accident one thing you kinda never expect to yourself.
This is a story about various people, faces that would otherwise seem to you lost in the crowd if you were to see them on a busy Monday morning whilst riding the subway to work.
The story of how they stumbled upon themselves and the frail paths that led them there.
And it ends with them being finally free...

A wonderfully and passionately written literary fiction
This is the final book in The Journeys We Wander trilogy and it's so full of surprises and gems that you discover all throughout the story.
The characters are allowing themselves to be discovered and let your look right into their souls through a journal that is kept all through tout the book. And even more so, while we are used that Allan, the narrator and central character to share deep thoughts and self-introspection, now we have Mary as well who is sharing her side of the story through her own journaling. The two versions of the story combine so elegantly and it's almost poetic how they inertial, forming their own universe and a story of its own.
Allan continues his search for meaning, but this time he is much more determined to go in one direction and chases it until the end.
Mary is not just a regular crush anymore but transformés just like a butterfly into a beautiful strong, tempered woman who knows what she wants and is determined to get it.
Additional characters appear in the story and an alluring and passionate threesome is also finding its own place in the story.
The end is anything but predictable, you are left not wondering what will happen next, but actually picturing your own version of this story and by then you realize you already became part of it too.
Beautifully written, deeply passionate, poetical in so many ways, incredible characters introspection. A must-read.
