Palomas / Doves : Dos almas en busca de una respuesta / Two souls in search of an answer
by
Keila Ochoa Harris
Siguiendo la tradición clásica de las novelas de ficción bíblica, Keila Ochoa Harris se mete de lleno en la narración corta pero impactante de la vida de Jonás y su misión profética en Nínive, involucrándonos en las vidas de los personajes. Jonás se convierte en un ser humano con grandes fallas pero a la vez compasivo que enfrenta cara a cara a las personas reales a quienes se le llamó a pronunciar condenación. Junto con la vida de Jonás, aparece Zuú, la mujer ninivita que queda impresionada por el arrepentimiento repentino de su familia y su gente y el regreso posterior a la crueldad y la perversidad. Las vidas entrelazadas de los judíos y los ninivitas se entretejen para formar parte de la gran historia del plan de Dios para redimir toda su creación.
