Olor a rosas invisibles is the story of two lovers who meet again after 40 years. Luice Campos is an older gentleman, married, and at piece with the life he's chosen to live. His only ghost is the nostalgic memory of Eloisa, a lover from his youthful and carefree days, a lover who one day will materialize in the form of an amazing flesh and blood woman. Olor a rosas invisibles is a love story, yes, but it is also an examination of the masculine side of adultery. Description in Spanish: Luis Campos es un caballero maduro, casado y satisfecho con la vida que ha llevado. Solo un recuerdo resulta tenido de nostalgia, el de Eloisa, una antigua amante de juventud, que un dia cualquiera se materializa en una estupenda mujer de carne y hueso.

Good, but not as good as her novels,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Olor a rosas invisibles / The Scent of Invisible Roses (English and Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Cute riff on aging. Shows her style but very light compared to her novels. The shorter form does not force that. Many short stories and novellas are as complex and significant as any novel but in this case Restrepo did not rise to that level. It made me think of an extended sketch or class exercise. Clearly the work of a person of talent, but the theme is too light for the skill.

This review is from: Olor a rosas invisibles / The Scent of Invisible Roses (English and Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This is a short story, mediocre and definitely not up to Restrepo's usual skill and imagination. Dissappointing and annoying to pay so much for a few pages.
