Las Palmeras Salvajes

The wild palms brings together two stories that alternate, Wild palms and The Old Man, to form an intense novel about the confrontation of human beings with the forces of nature and, above all, with their own passions, feelings and ambitions. The particular way in which the two stories interrupt each other, in a display of imagination and narrative talent, endow the novel with an irresistible force and trace the trajectory of characters at the mercy of terrible events: one that sacrifices everything for love, and another, a prisoner, who attends the overflow of the Mississippi River and discovers unexpected aspects of himself.
