Say You'll Be Mine
Autor Julia Amanteen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2012
Still holding on to her dream, Isabel travels to Argentina. There she meets little Julieta, the cherubic baby of the family; eight-year-old Adelmo, as hot-tempered as his sister is sweet; and ten-year-old Sandra, whose heart-shaped face and quiet confidence remind Isabel so much of her late cousin. She tells herself to let the children go, to leave them in the care of their grandmother or perhaps their long-lost uncle who abruptly reappears. Or should she listen to her ex-husband, who is suddenly at her side, urging her to give the children--and him--a chance?
If she's willing to take a risk, three tiny strangers just might change Isabel's life in ways she's never imagined.

Notă biografică
Julia
Amante
had
the
misfortune
of
growing
up
away
from
the
extended
family
that
is
so
valued
in
the
Latin
culture,
but
missed
out
on
very
little
of
what
it
means
to
be
Argentine.
Asados
were
sacred
meals
shared
together
on
weekends.
Cheering
for
the
Argentine
soccer
team
was
a
must,
as
were
the
weekly
pilgrimages
to
the
Argentine
Club
in
Los
Angeles
where
the
young
Americanized
kids
hid
under
the
tables
and
watched
the
adults
dance
tango
until
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning.
Julia
giggled
right
along
with
the
rest
of
the
kids
at
how
"geeky"
the
parents
looked,
but
secretly,
was
intrigued
by
the
romantic
culture
and
passionate
music.
Recenzii
"There are really three love stories here: the one between Isabel and Nick, who are dealing with their alcohol-damaged past; the bad-boy uncle's wooing of Isabel's divorced best friend; and, ultimately, the love that flows between Isabel and the children. Readers may find Isabel infuriating as she tries to fight the inevitable, but she comes to her truths honestly and convincingly. This possible lack of sympathy should be assuaged by the pleasure of reading Gallegos' descriptions of coastal Southern California landscape and the lush, mountainous wine region of Argentina. For all readers of women's fiction."—Booklist on SAY YOU'LL BE MINE
"[Amante's] characters are sweetly written and complex...[she] writes them with insight..and explores the moderating line where each individual lives, neither good nor bad, but only human."—RT Book Reviews on SAY YOU'LL BE MINE
"What a rich, colorful, and completely heart-wrenching book written by a gifted mind. The reader is taken on an emotional ride through the soul with Isabel as she tries to free herself of the baggage she is carrying around while she tries to build a new life. The tapestry for this story is so engrossing you have to keep reading to find out how all this is going to work out for everyone you care that much about these characters."—Mary Gramlich, The Reading Reviewer on SAY YOU'LL BE MINE
