LA NUEVA NOVELA DE LAURA RESTREPO

Una doble historia de amor en un mundo al borde del colapso, por la ganadora de los premios Alfaguara, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y Grinzane Cavour.

«Todo mito que nace renace. Todo mito que encarna reencarna».

Obsesionado con la reina de Saba, Bos Mutas, un joven escritor contemporáneo, sale a buscarla por el mundo, igual que hicieron a lo largo de los siglos personajes históricos como Salomón, Tomás de Aquino y Gérard de Nerval. Y aunque la reina de Saba resulta inasible, Bos Mutas encuentra en su lugar a la muy terrenal Zahra Bayda, una partera somalí. De esa manera, el tiempo real del presente corre paralelo al tiempo inmemorial del mito.

Obra de ficción basada en los viajes que la autora hizo con Médicos Sin Fronteras por Yemen, Etiopía y la frontera somalí --la geografía mágica y feroz del que alguna vez fuera el reino de Saba--, esta novela es un hermoso caleidoscopio, una puerta de entrada a mundos apasionantes, una audaz amalgama de géneros, épocas, ritmos profanos y bíblicos, crueldad y solidaridad, amor y guerra, dolor y curación.

Laura Restrepo acompaña, con este emocionante relato, el eterno caminar de las mujeres migrantes, que pese a cojeras y tropiezos siempre se levantan, siguen adelante, aprenden a mirar cada vez más lejos y traspasan las fronteras del tiempo y el espacio. Canción de antiguos amantes esboza una propuesta seductora: ¿y si el gran himno del final de los tiempos no es el Apocalipsis? ¿Y si fuera más bien el Cantar de los cantares?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE NEW NOVEL BY LAURA RESTREPO.

A twofold love story in a world on the verge of collapse by award-winning author Laura Restrepo, recipient of the Alfaguara Novel Prize, the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, and the Grinzane Cavour Prize.

«Every myth that is born, is reborn. Every myth that incarnates, reincarnates.»

Obsessed with the Queen of Sheba, young contemporary writer Bos Mutas goes out into the world in search for her, same as other historical characters did over the centuries, such as Solomon, Thomas Aquinas, and Gérard de Nerval. And even though the Queen of Sheba remains unreachable, Bos Mutas finds the very earthly Zahra Bayda, a Somali midwife, instead. And such, present reality runs parallel to the immemorial time of myth.

A work of fiction based on the author's journeys with Doctors Without Borders through Yemen, Ethiopia, and the Somali border--a magical and ferocious geography of what the kingdom of Sheba once was. This novel is a beautiful kaleidoscope, an entryway to passionate worlds, a bold mixture of genres, times, profane and biblical rhythms, cruelty and solidarity, love and war, pain and healing.

With her exciting tale, Laura Restrepo joins the never-ending walk of migrant women, who might limp and stumble, but forever rise again, keep on going, learn to see further still, and breach the borders of time and space. Song of Old Lovers outlines a seductive proposal: What if the great hymn at the end of time isn't the Apocalypse? But rather the Song of Songs?

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4. Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down. There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.

Fun read
Format: Kindle
I'm not really into mafia books but I love Roxy Collin's other series so I decided to give it a try. It had the same great romance, spice, swoon-worthy characters and exciting plot that are her signature. Arben was my favorite, although it was a bit sudden how quickly he changed from ignoring her to wanting to be pack. There were almost too many twists/layers of lies to keep track of but I'm looking forward to reading the other books. The only thing that detracted from the story for me was the need for a bit more proofreading. It was mentioned that Kelly is a female and male at different points, leading me to think she changed her mind at some point about the character's gender but didn't go back and edit it to align in all places. Like another reviewer pointed out, step siblings are different than half siblings. They are incorrectly referred to as step siblings because they (allegedly) share the same biological dad. There are a few other typos as well but those aren't a big deal.

Stepbrothers, Secrets, and Sizzling Heat
Format: Kindle
Twisted Lies by Roxy Collins is a wild ride through family secrets, amnesia, and a steamy stepbrother romance. When Kelly discovers her life is built on lies, she ends up tangled with three alpha stepbrothers and an assassin who once helped her through a heat. The tension? Off the charts! The heat is real, and the complications are messy in the best way. Full of twists, secrets, and fated mates? You'll be hooked from page one! Love omegaverse drama with a dash of taboo? This one's for you!

Good read
Format: Kindle
The book has some good twists and turns, but truthfully I was so confused on some things. It didn't have a good flow for me personally. Not sure if it's due to typos or using him/her wrongly, but I thought Kelly was both a guy and a girl. Actually I still don't know, and it made me incredibly frustrated. It would refer to Kelley as him or he, and then again in another part of the story as her she and sister. On to the next book, I hope there is some clarity and a smoother flow. This is a slow burn, and I just don't know how much I care for the Alphas yet. Idk if I recommend.

the lies
Format: Kindle
This is amazing fast pace read that is full of plot twists and lies that keep getting bad. This is a story we’re a omega has been lied to by her mother and finds out that someone is slowing dieing. 3 alpha take the omega and feed her more lies so they can use her against her father so they can find their mate Kelly. This is a dark read and ends in a cliffhanger and so good.
