de Repente Un Angel

This book reads in one sitting because you can't put it down. It is a very well written novel that entertains and stirs emotions at the same time. One moment you are laughing the next you are almost in tears. I'll be reading more from Mr. Bayly.

I have read almost all Jaime Bayly's books! This is a good one to share with your mom! Not so much of homosexual topics. A lovely story. I love Bayly's way of writing! I recomend this book so much.

No había leído nigún libro de Jaime Bayly hasta ahora y debo decir que me sorprendió la ternura con la que el autor cuenta esta aparentemente simple historia de la relación entre el protagonista y su empleada. Jaime Bayly se despoja del cinismo y describe con dulzura y sentido del humor como se deja transformar y curar por esta mujer que a pesar de las tragedias de su vida ha conservado la bondad y la dulzura.

I truly enjoyed Y de repente, un angel. This book is very engaging and a fast read. Bayly writes with such a passion and his story is so alive, I felt I was there with him the whole time. He brings back memories of growing up in Peru, with "empleadas" who become a second mom to a lot of kids. However, I still cant figure out why Bayly dislikes so much militares. He briefly makes fun of them and their wives. Overall, I loved this book, I love Bayly in general. Buy this book and enjoy a truly lovely, remarkable and admiring tale of friendship and loneliness.

Y de repente un angel can possibly be the long awaited novel by Jaime Bayly that is a reflection of his true writing ability. In this novel Jaime B stays clear of his regular themes- homosexuality and bisexuality and relates a wonderful story of a writer who hires a maid who is an illiterate woman in her fifties. Julio Beltran, the protagonist is intrigued by her past and decides to help Mercedes find her mother who sold her when she was young girl. Intertwined in this main story, we get a sense of the class structure in Peru, social issues and Julio's personal strife which is a possible reflection of Jaime Bayly's plight with his own family. Y de repente an angel, is well written, intriguing and captivating. I recommend this novel to those who enjoy Jaime Bayly's writing style or to anyone who is looking for a novel with an interesting plot.
