Llegué con las moscas, a finales de junio de 1986, cinco meses después de que el Challenger reventase el cielo de Florida. El año en que fuimos europeos y la ría se convirtió en una charca de aguas estancadas. El verano en que planeamos matar a un hombre.Verano de 1986. Ulises, de trece años, abandona la ciudad con sus abuelos después de la recaída de su padre en la heroína. Con las calles revueltas por la reconversión del sector naval en Galicia, una isla frente a la costa parece el mejor destino para un adolescente. Allí se hará amigo de Toya y Onehuevo, cuyos padres también han sufrido los embates de la droga. Como venganza, entre los tres planean matar a Leónidas, un narcotrafi cante que opera en la isla. Y, mientras llevan a cabo su objetivo, un Ulises adulto refl exionará sobre el pasado y las cicatrices que la emigración, el narcotráfi co y la crisis han dejado en varias generaciones. Tras el éxito de crítica y público de El secreto de las hermanas Asorey, vuelve Marta Estévez con otra saga familiar que abarca tres periodos históricos y transcurre a caballo entre Galicia y Venezuela. Una novela que consagra a su autora como una voz imprescindible de las letras gallegas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I arrived with the flies, at the end of June 1986, five months after the Challenger exploded in the Florida sky. The year we were Europeans and the estuary became a puddle of stagnant water. The summer we planned to kill a man.
Summer of 1986. Thirteen-year-old Ulises leaves the city with his grandparents after his father has a heroin relapse. With the streets in a riot after the reconversion of Galicia's shipbuilding sector, an offshore island seems like the best destination for a teen. There he will befriend Toya and Onehuevo, whose parents have also suffered the onslaught of drugs. In retaliation, the three of them plan to kill Leonidas, a drug dealer operating on the island. And while they carry out their objective, a grownup Ulises reflects on the past and on the scars that migration, drug trade, and economical crises have left on many generations. After the success among critics and public alike of The Secret of the Asorey Sisters, Marta Estévez returns with yet another family saga that spans over three historical periods and moves on horseback between Galicia and Venezuela. A novel that enshrines the author as an essential voice in Galician literature.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive...
Format: Paperback
The writing and the approach in the book are not earth shattering. In fact, I wish there was a little more meat or pizzaz in the content. So, why the recommendation? Simple - the content at its core is incredibly powerful - and we all need the reminder. Our gentieel approach to communications and emotional interaction has left us forgetting to ASK for things. We expect the world to be mind readers, and get upset, frustrated or depressed when we don't get what we want. Of course, since we never actually ASKED for what we wanted, we rely on guesswork and luck to achieve our dreams and goals.
The genie in the lamp could grant wishes, but those wishes needed to be spoken by Aladdin. Similarly, we are all in a position to achieve our goals and dreams, but they must be spoken. Even within ourselves, we cannot harness our own power of desire and subconscious until we solidify the desire by asking for it.
An absolute must read - even if the writing style is a bit flat - the content is NOT.

Great book, however...
Format: Paperback
There are many great things about this book and very useful advice and information, however it is very repetitive and some of the excerpts are a bit long and boring. I still recommend it, just be warned.
