Book Description

December 27, 2005

La reportera de una revista de frivolidades es enviada por su jefe a cubrir la aparición de un ángel en una de las barriadas más pobres de la ciudad. Emprende la tarea a regañadientes porque la tienen sin cuidado los asuntos religiosos y la aburre sobremanera un tema tan manido, y ni siquiera sospecha hasta qué punto se va a ver involucrada en una brutal cadena de acontecimientos que escaparán a su control y a su racionalidad.

¿Quién es y de dónde viene el supuesto ángel, ese muchacho perplejo y de asombrosa belleza a quien la fe de los habitantes del barrio mantiene encerrado entre una cueva? ¿Qué lo une a esa reportera que de él se enamora, a la madre que lo busca en agonía, al sacerdote que intenta destruirlo, a la médica que pretende hospitalizarlo, a las mujeres que lo bañan, lo alimentan y lo convierten en supremo objeto de veneración?

Sin caer en el socorrido "realismo mágico", Restrepo explora los abismos de la religiosidad popular y acompaña los pasos de una mujer que se atreve a adentrarse en el luminoso y a la vez pavoroso territorio de lo sagrado.

Dulce Compañía recibió los premios Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y el Prix France Culture, otorgado por la crítica literaria francesa.

This review is from: Dulce Compania: Novela (Paperback)
I could not put this book down either. I was intrigued from the beginning about the nature of the "angel". I enjoyed reading it and I liked Laura Restrepo's writing style.

Once I got into the book, I had trouble putting it down. The author gives a new twist to angels interacting with humans.
