Reseña del libro "Migrant Destiny (en Inglés)"
MIGRANT DESTINY is a novel of many colors, of black and white and gray landscapes that appear from its beginning.The seven generations that exist in this work endure a constant fight with destiny and people who want to take advantage in any way and at any cost, of our protagonists. The magnitude of the tragedies, the abyss that separates and the highs and lows experienced by each generation, making it ever more vulnerable but at the same time wiser and better at defending its honor.Guatemala and the scene of so many tragedies that have seared the heart of its people is the same one that embraces these generations, whose realism is felt to such a degree that one does not know whether it is fiction or the same stage in which Guatemalans have lived. With its travels and wars, legends and joys, it touches the core of each generation, rises and descends to the bottom again. It is in each new beginning the happiness of an unhappy ending where truth repeats itself like a never ending fire.With her imagination the author takes us on a trip, which once started, we don't want to end; reality and fiction are lines that weave themselves to give life to each generation and little by little takes us into that side of Guatemala that very few know: the witches and shamans with their dark angels, its demons with a full name; the hard-working people always looking for a better future, the mantles, red in blood and death that hide in the jungles, the trees with their truths hidden in the branches, the virtue of making the best of a bad situation, the bitterness of not giving up and selling out.To read "MIGRANTE DESTINY" is to go into a reality that the world does not easily see, it is much more than a simple novel of fiction.To understand it we must see life from an isolated vantage point for not all written in it is fiction; there will be those who cry the dead as their own and are filled with rage and sadness with the tragedies that take place here.Marla Rodas aims to portray in this novel the life of many people who have grown up in Guatemala and lived with these colors, with the same scenes, humble people who in search of peace offer their trust to someone who does not deserve it, people whose hopes hang by a thread and believe the lies of those who only want to use them.The grace and magic of this novel is endless, whoever is fortunate enough to read it will have the opportunity to understand, among many other things, those love stories without a happy ending and that, despite everything, those that with their truth and head held high go and try to change the world for the better, even if they lose their life in the attempt, will always be victorious."MIGRANT DESTINY" is, without a doubt, a fantastic novel, full of adventure, drama and suspense, very worthy of being read.
