Стремительный, как желание

The protagonist, the son of a Mayan Indian and a Spanish woman, has a special gift - the ability to "hear" the true feelings of a person, hidden behind a solid wall of words he utters. Did he think that over the years this magical gift would turn into his main misfortune? He has a good job, a beloved and faithful wife, a wonderful son. It seemed that life is a holiday. But at what point does love turn into hate? What is driving this transformation? . Laura Esquivel is a contemporary Mexican writer, widely known both in her homeland and in America and Europe. Her first novel "Chocolate on Boiling Water" instantly became a world bestseller, was translated into more than thirty languages and filmed (in the Russian box office it was called "Like water for chocolate"). Her work paradoxically combines reality and fiction, eroticism and mysticism, a love story and recipes of Mexican cuisine.
