Description:
At the furthermost edge of the world, bounded by desert and sea, was a farm. Few travellers reached that desolate place. The boy who lived there, Paolo, was like a seed planted in bedrock there, condemned never to bloom.
But then came Angel, a wanted man, a killer - and later, Luis, with his paper and pens. Both men brought suffering, but they also brought life. And Paolo would say that truly he was born the day Angel Allegria arrived.
Winner of France's Prix Sorcieres, The Killers Tears is a magnificent exploration of innocence, guilt, and the redemptive power of love.
