Through earthy, charming stories that blend songs, letters, and prayers, Patricia Preciado Martin explores the hidden places of the soul and the human longing for amor eterno , eternal love. Forbidden love, enchanted love, and desperate love are just some of the varieties of love that get mixed into this sweet concoction of romance, wit, and instruction. A delicious combination of modern sensibility and folk wisdom--including recipes for fresh breath and special prayers to Saint Valentine--this book tells universal tales of devotion and desire.
Once you start reading Amor Eterno you may be tempted to devour it all at once. My advice is take your time, savor each and every word. Patricia Preciado Martin's eleven short stories read like poetry and conjure up vivid and touching images of loves lost, forgotten, unrequited, and eternal. She has an insider's sensitivity to Mexican culture and an expert command of English that allows her to turn her "cuentos" into universal experiences. Now I want to read all of her books.
