A review by jodi_b
El caso Neruda by Roberto Ampuero

5.0

I started reading this book aloud to my partner. The way the author set the scene with social and political detail reminded me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. As a listener, my partner found it difficult to get into wanting something to happen. As the reader and a lover of Latin American fiction and Pablo Neruda's poetry, I was hooked and the novel did not disappoint with romance and political intrigue hopping from Chile to Mexico, Cuba, and East Germany.
