Críticas:

"'[A] beautiful novel, of a quality rarely seen.' Annie Proulx 'His best book so far... written in rhythms that are sweeping and supremely confident' Colm Toibin, Daily Telegraph 'The Divine Husband confirms Goldman as one of America's most significant living novelists... He has produced a work of ambition, seriousness, passion and seething life.' Claire Messud 'Goldman is a proven authority whose word, without doubt or hesitation, the reader wholeheartedly believes to be true' Alberto Manguel, Independent"

Reseña del editor:

Francisco Goldman, one of the most talented and award-winning writers of his generation, released his third novel, The Divine Husband, to wide and rapturous acclaim. Beginning with a single, possibly scandalous love poem by Jose Marti, Cuba's greatest revolutionary-poet-hero with an infamous secret love life, The Divine Husband is the story of Maria de las Nieves Moran, a former nun forced out of her convent by a revolution in a Central American capital. While making her way in this metropolis nicknamed "The Little Paris," she enrolls in a writing class taught by Jose Marti, under whose spell Maria de las Nieves and her classmates quickly fall. Soon after, Maria de las Nieves flees her home for New York, where Marti has also relocated?a crucial interval that shaped Marti's consciousness. Nearly a century later, an elderly woman in Massachusetts hires a college student to investigate her claim that she is the illegitimate offspring of Marti and Maria de las Nieves. Mixing a lovingly re-created historical past with often hilarious, ironic, and moving conjecture that brings to life an unforgettable heroine and her remarkable collection of friends, nemeses, and rival suitors, The Divine Husband is a magnificent American novel.
