The Angel of Galilea by Laura Restrepo; Dolores Koch
|
This barrio angel teaches us how to see behind
the appearance of things and how to embrace reality with all the senses." --Isabel
Allende
"Laura Restrepo breathes life into a singular amalgam of journalistic investigation
and literary creation. Her fascination with popular culture and the play of her impeccable
humor, of that biting but at the same time tender irony . . . infuses them with
unmistakable reading pleasures." --Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez
Winner of Mexico's Sor Juana In�s de la Cruz Prize, and France's Prix France Culture, The
Angel of Galilea introduces a refreshing new voice in Latin American literature to the
English speaking audience."
Mona is a jaded reporter for a Colombian tabloid sent on assignment to investigate an
angel sighting in one of Bogot�'s most devastated barrios, where she encounters a
community torn apart by a passionate conflict over a beautiful man who walks the fine line
between sanity and sainthood. For the people of Galilea, this mysterious and sensual
"angel without a name" represents their hope amidst desperate circumstances; for
Mona, he awakens her desire to love and gives her a reason to believe. When the barrio's
priest leads a revolt against the fallen angel, Mona risks everything to protect him from
the gang that threatens to destroy him.
"Restrepo is a writer to treasure." --Alastair Reid
"Sharply resonant." --The New York Times Book Review
"Surprising, wonderful, and, for me, deeply moving."
--Alvaro Mutis

Prayer

When lovelorn Lydia Swain prays to the angel she knows is up there, she isn't convinced that he will answer. The angel, Ebol, isn't sure either, being a bit lazy and something of a sleepyhead. But when he's persuaded--by an angelic kick in the rear end--he finds himself involved not only in a love story, but in a political brouhaha the likes of which the land of Korasan has never before seen. And once Lydia and Ebol join forces, nothing will ever be the same--not for Lydia, not for the handsome Aldersan Hale, not for the citizens of Korasan, and not even for Ebol himself.
