"I really like Sofia's books, her writing style is amazing. Though I have listened to the books I now want to buy them all in paper back and re-read them. I have read them in Spanish, and delight and savour every word that it is interwoven in her stor"

"5 stars
This book, just by its size, was so intimidating... and now I have added a new book to my Favorites Shelf. I can't explain how beautiful, immersive, intense, and heartbreaking this book is. From the characters to the plot to the descriptions." Read more of this review » |

"Reading The Murmur of Bees feels like being carried on the rhythm of a song; soft, steady, and achingly beautiful. The translation captures not just the words, but the soul of the story, weaving language that feels almost luminous. It asks you to slo"

answered a question about
The Murmur of Bees:
Hello!! It's a real song from northeast of Mexico from the time of the Revolution. It seemed appropriate to the angst of the character, becomes an "ocd" ear worm, ends up being a call to action too.

Bien lograda novela, con algunos buenos personajes a los que acompañamos a lo largo de su vida. Lo interesante de esta novela es que le sucede a una cadena de gente común de Korea que resulta quedar a merced de los caprichos de la Historia y de los p ...more |

| I love the series, hence I feel obliged to give Wind and Truth the 3 star rating. Sorry. This book, I did not love so much. I got lost in all the convoluted goings on, but that could be on me (but really, is it?). Also lost in these pages: all the wo ...more | |

“Tell them to walk in the shade. To listen with their eyes, to see with their skin, and to feel with their ears, because life speaks to us all and we just need to know and wait to listen to it, see it, feel it.”

“Diles que caminen por la sombra. Que escuchen con los ojos, que vean con la piel y que sientan con los oídos, porque la vida nos habla a todos y sólo debemos saber y querer escucharla, verla, sentirla.”

“Estoy seguro de que en mis células llevo a mi mamá y a mi papá, pero también porto la lavanda, los azahares, las sábanas maternas, los pasos calculados de mi abuela, las nueces tostadas, el 'clunc' del mosaico traidor, el azúcar a punto de caramelo, la leche quemada, las locas chicharras, los olores a madera antigua y los pisos de barro encerado. También estoy hecho de naranjas verdes, dulces o podridas; de miel de azahar y jalea real. Estoy hecho de cuanto esa época tocó mis sentidos y la parte de mi cerebro donde guardo mis recuerdos”

“El silencio y el tiempo le sirvieron para echarle llave al cofre, pero no sabía que la noche sabía muy bien dónde guardaba la memoria de aquel día y que, tramposa, esperaba a que su dueña se durmiera para posesionarse del llavero. A la noche no se le engaña. No se enteraba Ilse de que ésta abría la puerta para que las imágenes, los sonidos y los miedos se pasearan sin impedimento por su mente y por su cuerpo, pues dormía profundo.”
