The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán
I'm offering The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán as a free download for a limited period. Choice of formats available. Please go to the web page I have about the book at http://mikerobbinsnyc.blogspot.com/20... and scroll down for the link.
Here is the blurb:
When Silvia’s country falls apart after a coup, she flees to London. Picked up by the police, she is dumped for weeks in a bed-and-breakfast with a crazy landlady, then rescued by cold intellectuals. She finds she is a nuisance to one side and a cause to the other, with no dreams, family or opinions of her own. Until she meets another, earlier, refugee; and then she has a surprise for everyone.
The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán is a story of flight, loss and the pain of exile. But it is also a sideways look at liberal London – perceptive, caustic and sometimes very funny.
