Description: Una tarde con campanas is a novel about immigration. First, there's the origin: Latin America (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, the Dominican Republic, or the author's native Venezuela). And then, the destination: Madrid in this case, as it could be any other Spanish city. And it's through the eyes of José Luis (a naive but bright child) that we experience the journey and gradual adaptation of the exiled, from the differences in the landscape and weather to the relationships with others and how they perceive him. A novel full of emotions, a coming-of-age story, filled with both funny and sad anecdotes, in which Spain and Latin America merge in a true way. (Publisher's synopsis)
