Los secretos que guarda la isla solo los desvelará el exilio.


El día comienza mal para Adela, joven neoyorquina de ascendencia cubana, cuando recibe la llamada de su madre. Llevan enfadadas más de un año, porque Adela no solo se ha trasladado a Miami, sino que vive con Marcos, un joven habanero recién llegado a Estados Unidos que la ha seducido por completo y al cual, por su origen, su madre rechaza. Marcos le cuenta a Adela historias de su infancia en la isla, arropado por un grupo de amigos de sus padres, llamado el Clan, y le muestra una foto de la última comida en que, siendo él niño, estuvieron juntos veinticinco años atrás. Adela, que presentía que el día se iba a torcer, descubre entre los rostros a alguien familiar. Y un abismo se abre bajo sus pies.

Como polvo en el viento es la historia de un grupo de amigos que ha sobrevivido a un destino de exilio y dispersión, en Barcelona, en el extremo noroeste de Estados Unidos, en Madrid, en Puerto Rico, en Buenos Aires... ¿Qué ha hecho la vida con ellos, que se habían querido tanto? ¿Qué ha pasado con los que se fueron y con los que decidieron quedarse? ¿Cómo les ha cambiado el tiempo? ¿Volverá a reunirlos el magnetismo del sentimiento de pertenencia, la fuerza de los afectos? ¿O sus vidas son ya polvo en el viento?

En el trauma de la diáspora y la desintegración de los vínculos, esta novela es también un canto a la amistad, a los invisibles y poderosos hilos del amor y las viejas lealtades.

Una novela deslumbrante, un retrato humano conmovedor, otra obra cumbre de Leonardo Padura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The secrets that the island holds will only be revealed by exile.


The day starts badly for Adela, a young New Yorker of Cuban descent, when she gets a call from her mother. They have been angry for more than a year, because Adela has not only moved to Miami, but also lives with Marcos, a young man from Havana who has recently arrived in the United States who has completely seduced her and whom, because of his origin, her mother rejects. Marcos tells Adela stories of his childhood on the island, surrounded by a group of friends of his parents, called the Clan, and shows her a photo of the last meal they had had together twenty-five years ago as a child. Adela, who sensed that the day was going to go wrong, discovers someone familiar between the faces. And an abyss opens up beneath their feet.


Como polvo en el viento
(Like Dust in the Wind) is the story of a group of friends who have survived a fate of exile and dispersion, in Barcelona, in the extreme northwest of the United States, in Madrid, in Puerto Rico, in Buenos Aires...What has life done to them, who had loved each other so much? What has happened to those who left and those who decided to stay? How has time changed you? Will the magnetism of the feeling of belonging, the strength of affections, bring them together again? Or are their lives already dust in the wind?


In the trauma of diaspora and the disintegration of bonds, this novel is also a hymn to friendship, to the invisible and powerful threads of love and old loyalties. A dazzling novel, a moving human portrait, another masterpiece by Leonardo Padura.

Great Coffee at Home with Beautiful Design!
Color: Beige, Color: Beige
Absolutely love this espresso machine! It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes rich, flavorful coffee with nice crema. The milk frother works great for lattes and cappuccinos, and the design looks beautiful on my countertop. Great value for the price — highly recommend!

Good option 👌
Color: Silver
The Neretva Máquina de café expreso de 20 bares stands out for its compact and elegant stainless steel design, making it ideal for anyone who wants to prepare barista-style coffee at home. Its 20-bar pressure system delivers rich espresso with excellent aroma and crema, while the steam wand allows you to create smooth and consistent milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos. The LED display and practical size make it a modern, functional, and user-friendly option for everyday use.

Great little espresso machine for home
Color: Silver
I purchased this as a test case for home latte making. Considering the price, it is an excellent starter machine. The learning curve is not very dramatic and it is relatively easy to maintain. Unit is attractive and build quality is very good. Be sure to use filtered water. I have been using it regularly for months now and it has proved reliable. This has a very small footprint and would fit on most countertops. If you are looking for a starter espresso maker, this is a great option until you want to get really serious.

Pretty good machine!
Color: Silver
I’ve had the machine for about a month now and I like it! There is a learning curve but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy to use. For reference: I make a double latte every morning. I use 150 mLs of oat milk and froth/steam the milk for about 40-45 seconds. I refill the water tank weekly. Star deduction because the manual that comes with the machine isn’t great. The FAQ table is ambiguous and the entire manual is poorly written.

Great product and great value
Color: Beige
Was not sure I would be happy but took a chance and bought this Neretva machine. Love the small footprint and it looks so high end on the coffee bar. So I read the instructions as well as a bunch of reviews and then gave it a go for a cappuccino. Success on the very first try and it was restaurant quality taste! I am thrilled with this little machine! Full disclosure I used a separate electric frother pitcher rather than deal with the frothing wand. I prefer not using the steam wand until I am more comfortable with making espresso etc
