It beams readers with pinpoint accuracy to the heart and soul of 1860s Mexico, Cuba, and Spain on a magic carpet ride that they will be sorry to have end.

Entretenido pero flojo, no llega a enganchar. Supongo que es difícil mantener el nivel de "el tiempo entre costuras" y "Misión olvido".

El primer cuarto del libro es un poco lento, pero luego gana velocidad. Aunque el protagonista, Mauro Larrea, es un hombre, está rodeado de un elenco de personajes femeninos fuertes e interesantes.
Loved it. I think it was really hard to keep up with the readers' expectations after a book as El Tiempo Entre Costuras. In spite of that, Dueñas managed to produce a thrilling, engaging and yet beautiful book. I truly recommend it.
Después de haber leído "El Tiempo Entre Costuras", esperaba algo más emocionante. Se empieza a poner interesante más o menos a la mitad del libro. No digo que la apuesta del billar no haya sido interesante, pero en el momento pues no tenía mucho sentido. La historia en sí muestra las vueltas que da la vida y cómo puedes empezar a dedicarte a algo que nunca habías imaginado, pero esperaba algo más que le pudiera dar una chispa más vivaz.
I received this ARC from netgalley.com in exchange for a review.
Set in 1860's Mexico, Mauro Larrea's fortune is gone after a sudden disastrous event. Gambling the last of his money on a vineyard in Spain, he restores the vineyard to its former beauty.
This book fell flat for me and I didn't connect with the characters. Reading was comparable to listening to a long rambling historical narrative.
