Haunting and wonderful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I read this book a few years ago but still recall its images vividly. The interwoven stories, foreshadowing, and imagery are quite masterful and overall present a great narrative.
A separate reality with a hint of biculturalism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In this very good book Alberto writes of madness coexisting with the reality of separate cultures. Ghosts and people from beyond reach and caress the characters as they go about trying to fulfill the promise of a graduation which ends very badly for three of the seniors. Caracol beach starts with magic and realism but it gives way to tenderness and much humor. Very good.
