This Wednesday May 12, Montserrat Abumalham will be in Reading, Think, Imagine, program organized by the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena, presenting his latest novel 'All Strangers' (Tirano Banderas, 2019).
It will be at the Josefina Soria Library of the RA Luzzy Cultural Center at 8:00 p.m., and will be presented by Yolanda Noguera, professor, and Francisco Marín, editor.
This novel by Montserrat Abumalhan is an intimate and perhaps the most personal story of all his literary work.
It is the story of the birth of a family where the cultural, social and personal aspects of the characters that make up this plot are unraveling.
It is the story of the union of cultures and miscegenation, of what enriches it and of the differences that highlight and characterize it.
All Strangers is not a common story, it is an impeccable and beautifully told story of people and their times.
