Tan veloz como el deseo

Tan veloz como el deseo

by Laura Esquivel (México)
Novel, 222 pages (2001)

By the author of Como agua para chocolate, this international best-seller is another Esquivel tour de force. Telegraph operator Júbilo Chi was born with the uncanny ability to perceive people’s true feelings and know their deepest desires. He marries and has a family with Lucha, the love of his life, but a jealous villain waits in the wings, and tragedy creates a breakdown in their relationship that only his daughter can help to heal. Unhappiness is a long-term and elusive choice, but the universal solvent of communication is the ultimate key to love and forgiveness.

For high intermediate and above; adult readers
