A Strong and Bright Light (Spanish Edition)

In 2014, during the ongoing bloody war in Syria, Argentine photographer Álvaro Sánchez, who lives in Barcelona, decides to travel to cover the conflict. His contacts lead him to the home of the Al Kabani family, a Muslim family who will provide him with the means to enter Duma, one of the cities taken by rebel forces against the regime. Little does Álvaro know that this journey will lead him to the riskiest adventure of his career and the arrival of a love that will shake all of his paradigms. Salma, a young Arab woman, will drive him insane. For her, he will be willing to go to the extreme. Together, they will experience passions and dangers that will push them to their limits and endanger their lives in the midst of a whirlwind of violence and prohibitions. The story of the young couple is intertwined with an older one, set during the Syrian splendor of the 1960s. During this time of political upheavals and harsh restrictions imposed on women, the young Nunú will undergo a personal transformation that will deeply impact Salma and Álvaro.

Viviana Rivero once again surprises and captivates with a novel that has it all: love, sensuality, fraternal hatred, ancestral taboos, and a relentless drive for improvement. A strong and bright light reflects the power of love in the face of the horror of war and the unstoppable energy of women united against injustice. Can a couple love each other and be happy when their cultures and customs are so different? The question is answered in a story where love knows no boundaries and overcomes all obstacles.
