Summary:

"It is not easy to find a novel that addresses in such a sincere, courageous and profound way a subject such as abandonment, neglect and contempt suffered by so many children and young people in Colombia, a country where loneliness, mistreatment, violence and pain is accompanied by everyday indifference and contempt. It is less common for the approach to this painful reality to reach such a degree of sensitivity and poetry as those achieved in The Immortal Boy"-- Provided by publisher.
"Este libro narra dos historias de Bogotá. La de cinco hermanos colombianos que enfrentan la orfandad y la miseria con valentía. Y la de una niña huérfana que hará cualquier cosa para conocer al misterioso chico inmortal. El momento en que sus vidas se entrelazan jamás te dejará" -- Provided by publisher.
