Lately I’ve been trying to get back in touch with my spanish reading skills, and picked up a book that my aunt passed on to me to read. So far I have not been able to put this book down. The title of the book in literal translation is The Island of Lonely Men in spanish its La Isla De Los Hombres Solos, by José León Sánchez. I am so far very impressed by his simple use of localized vocabulary from the region where the story takes place in. As far as I’ve read the plot is about a young couple in a small town in Costa Rica who is constantly harassed by the local town Sheriff. The story goes as bad as the young man losing his wife and child in a storm and being accused of murdering his own family by the local authority and having him get locked up for life. Though it sounds simple the actual story has a very deep and sometimes stressful story line for the reader due to the fact that the bad guy has his way through. I honestly enjoy reading this book very much and can’t wait to get my paws deeper into this story as the story just worsens for the main character.
