Synopsis "THE EMPEROR OF GLADNESS"

One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year.

Un buen libro sobre inmigración en los EE.UU, e ya disponible en castellano, "El Emperador de Alegría". Pero como escribo, ya no está en Buscalibre. Es importante agregar la versión castellana en Buscalibre. Importante para ellos que ya no leer en inglés.
