LA NUEVA NOVELA DE LAURA RESTREPO

Una doble historia de amor en un mundo al borde del colapso, por la ganadora de los premios Alfaguara, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y Grinzane Cavour.

«Todo mito que nace renace. Todo mito que encarna reencarna».

Obsesionado con la reina de Saba, Bos Mutas, un joven escritor contemporáneo, sale a buscarla por el mundo, igual que hicieron a lo largo de los siglos personajes históricos como Salomón, Tomás de Aquino y Gérard de Nerval. Y aunque la reina de Saba resulta inasible, Bos Mutas encuentra en su lugar a la muy terrenal Zahra Bayda, una partera somalí. De esa manera, el tiempo real del presente corre paralelo al tiempo inmemorial del mito.

Obra de ficción basada en los viajes que la autora hizo con Médicos Sin Fronteras por Yemen, Etiopía y la frontera somalí --la geografía mágica y feroz del que alguna vez fuera el reino de Saba--, esta novela es un hermoso caleidoscopio, una puerta de entrada a mundos apasionantes, una audaz amalgama de géneros, épocas, ritmos profanos y bíblicos, crueldad y solidaridad, amor y guerra, dolor y curación.

Laura Restrepo acompaña, con este emocionante relato, el eterno caminar de las mujeres migrantes, que pese a cojeras y tropiezos siempre se levantan, siguen adelante, aprenden a mirar cada vez más lejos y traspasan las fronteras del tiempo y el espacio. Canción de antiguos amantes esboza una propuesta seductora: ¿y si el gran himno del final de los tiempos no es el Apocalipsis? ¿Y si fuera más bien el Cantar de los cantares?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE NEW NOVEL BY LAURA RESTREPO.

A twofold love story in a world on the verge of collapse by award-winning author Laura Restrepo, recipient of the Alfaguara Novel Prize, the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, and the Grinzane Cavour Prize.

«Every myth that is born, is reborn. Every myth that incarnates, reincarnates.»

Obsessed with the Queen of Sheba, young contemporary writer Bos Mutas goes out into the world in search for her, same as other historical characters did over the centuries, such as Solomon, Thomas Aquinas, and Gérard de Nerval. And even though the Queen of Sheba remains unreachable, Bos Mutas finds the very earthly Zahra Bayda, a Somali midwife, instead. And such, present reality runs parallel to the immemorial time of myth.

A work of fiction based on the author's journeys with Doctors Without Borders through Yemen, Ethiopia, and the Somali border--a magical and ferocious geography of what the kingdom of Sheba once was. This novel is a beautiful kaleidoscope, an entryway to passionate worlds, a bold mixture of genres, times, profane and biblical rhythms, cruelty and solidarity, love and war, pain and healing.

With her exciting tale, Laura Restrepo joins the never-ending walk of migrant women, who might limp and stumble, but forever rise again, keep on going, learn to see further still, and breach the borders of time and space. Song of Old Lovers outlines a seductive proposal: What if the great hymn at the end of time isn't the Apocalypse? But rather the Song of Songs?

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
