Publisher's summary
El doctor Adrián Ormache es un abogado próspero que vive en una zona acomodada de Lima. Tiene un buen sueldo, un trabajo estable que le gusta y una familia encantadora. Al cuidado de su madre, su infancia también ha transcurrido sin problemas. Adrián sólo ha visto esporádicamente a su padre, de cuyas hazañas como oficial de la marina peruana ha oído hablar. Tras su fallecimiento, descubre sin embargo que su padre estuvo a cargo de un cuartel en la zona de Ayacucho, durante la guerra de Sendero Luminoso. Gracias a ex subordinados suyos, se entera, además, de que ordenaba las sesiones de tortura y mandaba violar y ejecutar a las prisioneras. Pero en una ocasión su padre le perdonó la vida a una de ellas, que luego se escapó del cuartel. Cuando se entera de la existencia de esta misteriosa mujer, y a pesar de las advertencias y amenazas, Adrián se propone conocerla. Su obsesión por encontrarse con ella crece cuando obtiene unas fotos suyas.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Recomendable
Interesante, ágil, de fácil lectura. Me atrapó de inicio a fin.
Despues de todos los lujos, de los viajes de la imaginación y del deseo, tenemos que regresar a lo que nos rodea. La realidad es la resignación.
Lo recomiendo..

La realidad es la resignación
La frase "la realidad es la resignación" describe el tinte dramático de la novela que narra las atrocidades de la guerra contra Sendero Luminoso en Áyacucho en la década de los 80s. La sentí un poco cansada en la parte de la búsqueda de la heroína central de la historia "Miriam".
La narración es aceptable.

Powerful and beautifully written
This is a powerful novel and it has become one of my all-time favorites. It tackles some tough topics but manages to do so in a way that does not feel burdensome. The narrative voice is engaging and interesting and there are several beautifully written passages.
The reader does an excellent job. He is sensitive to the novel's pacing and tone without interfering with the reading experience by using overly performative or annoying voices (something all too common in audiobooks).
I highly recommend listening to/reading this book!

Interesante historia, terrible narrador
Me encantó como el autor entrelaza el terrible pasado del Perú durante los ataques de la banda terrorista de Sendero Luminoso con el presente de sus víctimas. Los horrores de la guerra contra el terrorismo dejaron un trauma colectivo en la sociedad peruana que ha afectado a varias generaciones y todo eso se discute dándoles voces a personajes de distintos estratos y edades. La narrativa es por momentos un poco repetitiva y ensimismada, pero los pasos de detective del personaje principal lo compensan. Recomiendo el libro, pero no esta versión, el narrador es terriblemente soso y cada vez que escucho un modismo peruano en los labios de una persona española suena demasiado forzado y uno sale de la ficción. Hubiera disfrutado más este audiobook si lo leyera un peruano o una versión en español de Latinoamérica.

No se que me ha dejado tan frustrada de esta novela, si la vida aburrida de Adrian o la falta de entonación del español que la lee.
En todo caso hay historias mejores..

Me gusto mucho!!!
Alonso Cueto describe lo que fue la guerra de y contra Sendero Luminoso. Una guerra donde todos los que se vieron involucrados, perdieron, sin embargo la vida sigue a pesar de.
La historia es muy creíble
No me gustó que el narrador fuera español, se pierde la atmósfera local Hay descripciones de calles y lugares que a los extranjeros no nos dice nada
