La vida de Rodolfo siempre ha estado marcada por el trauma de la guerra de Angola, pero sobre todo por el asesinato de su padre a manos de su hermano Geni, apodado Caballo Loco. Ahora, recién jubilado, Rodolfo se encuentra con que recobra la intimidad inesperada de su cuñada Nora, viejo amor de juventud, pero también con una noticia inquietante: van a excarcelar a su hermano parricida, aquejado de una enfermedad incurable, y no tiene otro destino que la casa familiar. En esa tensa espera, y durante poco más de una semana, se reavivarán viejos rencores, secretos familiares que creían enterrados, y en especial los detalles del sangriento asesinato que cambió la vida de todos en la familia. Solo la llegada de la hija de Rodolfo, y la intervención de un joven triunfador en una Habana desahuciada, darán el último y desesperado apoyo a Rodolfo.

Un relato dramático, una novela magistral, que cuenta cincuenta años de historia de un país.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Padura is already the best contemporary writer in his country--and one of the most important voices in Latin America." José Manuel Martín Medem, El Mundo

"A new Padura book is a way to understand Cuban reality." The New Yorker

Rodolfo's life has always been shaped by the trauma of the war in Angola, but even more so by his father's murder at the hands of his brother Geni, nicknamed Crazy Horse. Now retired, Rodolfo finds himself reconnecting with his sister-in-law Nora, a long-lost love from his youth, but also facing disturbing news: his parricidal brother is being released from prison due to a terminal illness--and he's headed back to the family home. Over the course of just a week, old grudges and buried family secrets resurface, especially the bloody details of the murder that changed all their lives. Only the arrival of Rodolfo's daughter and the help of a young rising star in a crumbling Havana offer Rodolfo one last desperate lifeline.

A powerful story, a masterful novel that spans fifty years of a nation's history.

Excellent buy!
Color: Blush, Size: Twin/Twin XL
I LOVE this set! It is perfect all year long! I fold it down in the summer to just cover my feet. In the Fall it’s perfect weight alone and in the colder months I use a blanket underneath! Everyone says it’s Beautiful! The color stays true wash after wash! It retains its shape well also! The pillow case is exactly like the cover! It also retains color & shape! It’s soft and you can just curl up in it! The quality is just as good as some other very expensive brands! This is great value for the money!

Beautiful bedspread
Color: Cream, Size: King, Color: Cream, Size: King
Exactly what I wanted. Color is right on. Lightweight but warm if you need some extra warmth. Pretty! Definitely order larger size. I have a queen bed and ordered the King. It's perfect for me.

Ok
Color: Dark Teal, Size: King
Looks pretty but not on my bed. It constantly looks messy. I don’t like the lack of neatness.

Couple Win
Color: Spa Blue, Size: King
The Amazon Basics Lightweight Soft King Size Comforter has been a wonderful purchase for our home! The comforter is incredibly soft, comes in beautiful colors, and is the perfect lightweight option for year-round use. My husband and I have very different sleep preferences—I tend to run hot while he’s always cold—but this comforter somehow works perfectly for both of us. It’s breathable enough that I stay comfortable while still providing enough warmth for him. We finally started sharing the same blanket again, which is a win in itself! Highly recommend for couples with different temperature preferences. 🛏️💕✨
