Publisher's summary

Cuatro mujeres de diferentes clases sociales y una amistad rotunda para descubrir el paso de la tradición a la modernidad en el Beirut de nuestros días. Mouna Al-Husseini es la propietaria del Cleopatra, un salón de belleza algo decadente en un barrio de Beirut. Mouna es una mujer atrevida y liberal, que lucha por desmarcarse de la tradición rígida, a pesar de que a sus 37 años su madre todavía le recuerda día a día lo mal que ha encaminado su vida. La casualidad llevará a las puertas del Cleopatra a Imaan Sayah, una importante diplomática libanesa, y con ella a tres de sus amigas: Nina, Lailah y Nadine. Tras ese primer encuentro, Mouna, Imaan, Nina, y Lailah desarrollarán una amistad profunda y honesta al margen de sus procedencias sociales, religiosas y culturales. Cuatro mujeres que compartirán momentos de soledad, desamor, e incluso humillación entre las paredes del Cleopatra.

Please Note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Miel y almendras

Unos de los mejores libros que he leído! Nos enseña cómo nos podemos ayudar unas a otras! Y cómo apoyarnos en momentos adversos! La verdad lo recomiendo por que tiene muchos puntos de vista para poder ver las cosas. Puede ayudarnos a verlos matrimonios que no todos son perfectos y que siempre hay momentos que no esperamos pero cuando hay amor hay esperanza. La amistad y la lealtad entre amigos es muy bella cuando se da! Y que el verdadero amor puede superar todo.

Complicated Relationships

The story is all about people and their growth and their changes in their relationships to each other. Pay attention to details because the lives of each character are beautifully and satisfactorily interwoven with each other. It was one of the top four books I’ve ever read

Loved it

In this high pace life we distance ourselves from everyone including ourselves and this book reminds you of the beauty of having friends and family "the old fashion way"

Thanks to the author for letting us relive that beauty.

No es la mejor traducción pero la historia es interesante

La narración es regular, me recuerda a las telenovelas antiguas y sus dramas. La historia en sí, es interesante pero me confundió un poco la manera en que está organizado el libro. No me ha gustado mucho la traducción. Es con un vocabulario regional (de alguna región Española). Tiene frases que obviamente ls traducido literalmente y que no tienen sentido dentro del contexto. Eso me ha desagrado pero terminé el libro porque la historia si me pareció interesante.

este libro debe llamarse 100 historias cortas

Se adentra demasiado en las historias personales de los personajes y la historia del libro se pierde
