À propos de cet audio

 It is the late 1960s. We meet three children: Enrique Florit, from Cuba, living in southern California with his flamboyant magician father; Marta Claros, getting by in the slums of San Salvador and forced to leave school to help support her family, her beloved older brother having already left home; and Leila Rezvani, a well-to-do surgeon's daughter in Tehran, her mother concerned only with appearances, her father an often foolishly vocal opponent of the Shah.

As we follow them across the next 20 years, we see chance draw Leila and Marta into Enrique's life; Leila and Enrique loving and losing each other, with Marta the means to renewed hope for Enrique; and, throughout, "good luck or bad tilting life one way or another" for all of them.

With its cast of vividly drawn characters, its graceful movement through time, and its subtle revelation of the essential hopes and doubts of ordinary people whose lives are made extraordinary by circumstance, A Handbook to Luck is Cristina García's most beautiful, elegiac, and deeply emotional novel yet.
