Book Description

Laura Esquivel regresa con una novela de gran belleza y compasión. Mientras Como agua para chocolate se basó en la vida de su madre, en Tan veloz como el deseo Esquivel hace un trabajo de ficción acerca de la vida de su padre en México. Nacido con la curiosa habilidad de entender los mensajes ocultos en los sentimientos humanos, Don Júbilo se convierte en un traductor que ayuda a otros a solucionar problemas de comunicación en sus relaciones. Sin embargo, cuando una tragedia destruye su matrimonio, es la habilidad de su hija para escuchar que reunirá a Don Júbilo en su cama de muerte con su esposa. La señora Esquivel nos muestra con cariño, estilo y humor como el mantener secretos nos llevara a ser infelices y como la comunicación es la llave para alcanzar el amor.

5 out of 5 stars ¡¡¡¡ FENOMENAL !!!!.......2006-01-03

Había tenido la oportunidad de leer Como Agua para Chocolate y me fascino. Ahora decidí leer esta novela pues me habia encantado la manera de escribir de Laura Esquivel. Sin duda esta historia es tan erotica como "Como Agua para Chocolate". Laura Esquivel sabe como manejar las palabras para hacerlas sensuales, tristes, cautivantes, interesantes sin dejar de ser aburrida la historia. Me encanto.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Love Story.......2005-06-04

Jubilo Chi is a remarkable little boy who always smiles, who brings laughter and smiles to everyone around him. Learning to translate (and mediate) between his Mayan grandmother and his Spanish speaking mother, he becomes profoundly impressed with the power of words and the mystery of communication--and so, he decides to become a telegraph operator when he grows up.

Tan Veloz is the story of Jubilo and his life, and especially of his lifelong and sometimes stormy love affair with Lucha, his childhood sweetheart, later wife, later ex-wife. Seen largely through the eyes of his daughter Lluvia, it is a story of the intricacies and difficulties of communication, and of life. The story is not always happy, but the characters are always fascinating, characters you would love to meet. The book also has a great villain, don Pedro. A villain you will love to despise. What else could a reader ask for? I won't tell you the plot, but let's just say it will keep you turning pages.

A charming book by an author who obviously understands the human soul and the mysteries of love. I recommend it highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

5 out of 5 stars A great book for beginning a book club!.......2005-03-14

During our first book club meeting, we discovered that we had a lot to say about this novel. There are many wonderful themes to discuss and ponder. At different points in the novel we felt both compassion and disdain for Jubilo and Lucha. The ending is great and we had a feeling that life had come full circle for some of the characters. We're hoping for a sequel to find out about more about the lives of Jubilo's children!

5 out of 5 stars Buen Libro.......2002-09-26

5 out of 5 stars One of the best... de lo mejor.......2001-11-27

Very few times in life do we get the opportunity to read what we are feeling, and what we truly think and can't express about the people we love.
In this book, Laura Esquivel does just that. She weaves the fabric of love, our most intimate thoughts, desire, passion, true friendship, anger, and betrayal, through the life of Jubilo Chi, a telegraphist... a normal everyday man ... a person like you or me ... maybe someone you know ... or knew.... maybe, maybe... someone like your dad... and she helps us realise that love is always... AS SWIFT AS DESIRE

-------..---..----.---.----.---

Muy pocas veces en la vida tenemos la oportunidad de leer en palabras de alguien mas lo que realmente sentimos, creemos y que no podemos expresar acerca de quienes amamos.
En este libro, Laura Esquivel hace justamente eso. Ella teje la tela del amor, los pensamientos mas intimos, el deseo, la pasion, la verdadera amistad, la ira, y la traicion a traves de la vida de Jubilo Chi, un telegrafista.... un hombre normal.... una persona como tu o como yo... o tal vez como alguien que conoces... o conociste.... tal vez, tal vez alguien como tu papa..... y comprueba una vez mas que el amor es TAN VELOZ COMO EL DESEO
