Attribution
Laura Restrepo ; translated by Dolores M. Koch

Description
Laura Restrepo’s prize-winning The Angel of Galilea, newly translated into English, is a sublimely original, utterly contemporary story of love, faith, poverty, and mystery. Mona reads the story of this “angel without a name” in tattered journals transcribed by his mother and communes silently with him in the moonlight, falling deeply, passionately in love with him. This silent, powerful angel, left out of the official heavenly host, personifies for the outcast, impoverished residents of Galilea their faith and hope. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
