Agusto ha muerto en la guerra, es verdad, pero, ¿termina todo con la muerte? Su novia, Desiré, nos cuenta los acontecimientos anteriores a su muerte; Edmundo, hijo de ambos, también nos detalla en retrospectiva los hechos anteriores de su propia vida, que parece esconder secretos familiares que están a punto de develarse en un contexto bélico.En la Nicaragua de 1980, Ronald Reagan, presidente de los Estados Unidos, intenta detener la expansión del comunismo en centroamérica. A medida que nos acercamos al presente, las historias se entrelazan de forma magistral para develarnos lo que parece ser un final triste con destellos de felicidad, o tal vez lo contrario: uno brillante con grises de tragedia.En esta su primera novela, el autor propone dos métodos de lectura: uno clásico, comenzando por el Capítulo 1 y terminando en el 29, y otro de forma aleatoria siguiendo dos secuencias alternativas que no comienzan con el Capítulo 1 ni terminan con el 29, proporcionando al lector una participación más activa en la historia.Agusto has died in the war, it’s true. But, does everything end with death? His girlfriend Desiré, tells us about the events leading up to his death, while their son Edmundo also details in retrospect the events leading up to his own life. They seem to hide family secrets that are about to be revealed.All of this in the war context of Nicaragua in 1980, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States, tries to stop the spread of communism in Central America. As we approach the present, the stories intertwine masterfully to reveal what appears to be a sad ending with flashes of happiness, or perhaps the opposite, a bright one with shades of tragedy.In this, his first novel, the author proposes a classic reading method, starting from Chapter 1 and ending in Chapter 29, or randomly following two alternative sequences that do not begin with Chapter 1 or end with Chapter 29, which will provide the reader with a more active participation in the story.
