An exceptional book

Even if your native language is Spanish, this is a hard book to read and comprehend. But what an unforgettable experience it brings to the reader! This book will haunt you and impact you for a long time. It is one of the best books of modern Spanish literature. A must read!

Ramirez writing history at its best!!!

Whether you are Nicaraguan or not and whether you know or do not know about their history, this is something you definitely need to read. Ramirez wrote an excellent story from history's point of view with a great touch of imagination. Furthermore, there are touches of humor throughout the whole story that will suit the reader in the right moment. The author has succesfully written a story which contains history as well as fiction. I do not want to say more for it will be better for you to discover what a great story this. Yo will also enjoy the book for it is rich in culture ...

Exciting... A good Example in Literature

This Prize Award Winner book, can be read quickly, and yet it leaves you with the impression of having lived during Ruben Dario times. The depiction of the colonial city of Leon, the characters and dialogs are crafted with so superb mastery that they come alive and quite vivid. You feel their presence. And this is the purpose of Literature, to provide an experience. I saw "Shakespeare in Love" movie and did not feel like living in Shakespeare times. This is because good litearature is more powerful than Hollywood , because your imagination participates in depicting an image that the movies can't

Muy buena lectura

Margarita es una excelente lectura en la que uno aprende bastantes cosas sobre nicaragua, especialmente para los lectores que no solo leen un libro sino que tocan todo el contexto leyendo textos acerca de los libros. Debo decir que no es tan entretenida ni tan rapida en su desarrollo como caracol beach, tambien ganadora del mismo premio, pero no por eso deja de ser excelente. el trasfondo y trastueque de personajes y fechas esta muy bien logrado y el autor nos guia de la mano cada vez que pasa de una fecha a otra. Espero que todos la disfruten mucho. LUIS MENDEZ

El estilo de Sergio Ramírez es fascinante.

Cuando leí Castigo Divino me transporté al León de los años 30 que no conocía, pero me lo inmaginaba. Yo estaba muy pequeño cuando ocurren los hechos, pero los conozco bien. Soy del 44.Ahora que he leído "Margarita está linda la mar.." he vuelvo a vivir mi ciudad, y lo más lindo, es, que, a mi maneara de ver, a traves de los ojos de una persona queridísima por todos los que vivimos en León y estudiamos en la universidad de León y en más de alguna ocasión hablamos con él: Capi Prío.El estilo de Sergio Ramírez es fascinante. Me parece estar oyendo a los personajes hablar y discutir y viendo a León desde ahi, y a traves de las letras y las palabras que el escribe. La nitidez de su narrativa es especial. El libro es realmente fascinante. Mi esposa y yo hemos vivido cada cada momento del libro con intensidad. Todos los que están leyéndolo estan verdaderamente fascinados.
