Reseña del libro "The Angel's Last Confession (en Inglés)"
He came to ask humanity one question - and fell in love with the woman who answered it.Marguerite Voss was once the correspondent editors trusted with war zones. Now, fourteen months after one beautiful, borrowed lie ended her career, she writes cheerful captions for a travel app and has stopped believing her own stories.Then the clocks begin to stop. Millions dream of an unlit hallway, an open door, and a question no one can remember. The stars vanish from the sky for minutes at a time. The birds fall silent. And on a bridge in Prague stands a stranger in a thin gray coat, holding a leather book and a single feather, asking everyone he meets what they would confess if they had only one day left to live. Marguerite does what journalists do. She follows him.His name is Elian, and he is an angel sent to listen - without judgment, without penance - to humanity's confessions. Beside him, others are drawn into the mystery: Dr. Aline Kessler, a Geneva physicist who would rather die than admit the universe holds anything unexplainable, and who builds instruments to measure what cannot be measured; Cardinal Tomas Reyes, dispatched by the Vatican to assess and, if necessary, contain a miracle, and instead finding his certainty tested; and Marguerite's dying father, Simon, who has carried one secret about her mother's death for nineteen years.But not everyone believes mercy is the answer. Nireth belongs to an ancient order that weighs rather than listens, and it is certain that forgiveness without consequence is abdication, and that a species allowed to confess for free will only learn to perform its guilt. Nireth is not cruel. Nireth is convinced. And the longer it watches Elian grow attached to the people he was sent only to record, the more it fears what he is becoming.The book in Elian's hands grows heavier with every confession, and one final page is still waiting to be written. Some truths can only be told once. Some can only be told when the time is nearly gone.If you love: angel-and-mortal love stories, end-of-the-world mysteries, faith-versus-science dilemmas, and adversaries who are never simply villains - this is your next read.
