Description In Favor Of Books Swift as Desire

An enchanting, bittersweet story, touched with graphic earthiness and wit; Esquivel shows us how keeping secrets will always lead to unhappiness, and how communication is the key to love. Instead of entering the world crying like other babies, Júbilo was born with a smile on his face. He had a gift for hearing what was in people's hearts, for listening to sand dunes sing and insects whisper. Even as a young boy, acting as an interpreter between his warring Mayan grandmother and his Spanish-speaking mother, he would translate words of spite into words of respect, so that their mutual hatred turned to love. When he grew up, he put his gift to good use in his job as a humble telegraph operator. But now the telegraph lies abandoned, obsolete as a form of communication in the electronic age, and don Júbilo is on his deathbed, mute and estranged from his beloved wife, Lucha, who refuses to speak to him. What tragic event has come between two such sensuous, loving people to cause their seemingly irreparable rift? What mystery lies behind the death of the son no one ever mentions? Can their daughter bring reconciliation to her parents before it is too late, by acting as an interpreter between them, just as Júbilo used to do for other people? Swift as Desire is Laura Esquivel's loving tribute to her father, who worked his own lifelong magic as a telegraph operator. In this enchanting, bittersweet story, touched with graphic earthiness and wit, she shows us how keeping secrets will always lead to unhappiness, and how communication is the key to love.

This novel is a record of the love story of Jublio and Lucha. Jublio is a telegraph operator who prides himself of being able to sense the true meaning behind people's words when he is passing on a message or interpreting words. Lucha is a girl from a rich family, who falls hopelessly in love with Jublio and marries him, despite the fact does not have as much money as she is used to having, and she struggles with having to make ends meet every month.Their passion for one another helps them to

A quick read but it is unclear what the intention is in this novel. It is sweet but there is no real story to it.

Not my type of book. I was expecting the magic of Like Water For Chocolate.Laura Esquivel writes prose as it were poetry. It is musical. It flows and takes you away. The book was written wonderfully but it seemed to me that the story was only important to the writer only. Unfortunately, I didn't care about the characters in the book.

It took me forever to read this. Finally finished it. So...some parts I really loved and wanted to keep reading. Other parts, not so much. It was kind of confusing in some parts. The flashbacks were interesting to when the father was younger. But it was kind of anticlimactic now that he can only communicate with machines. Overall, I am glad I finished it. Not my favorite book ever, though.

Swift as Desire is a 2001 novel by Mexican author Laura Esquivel. Though her work is always translated, no one is credited to this particular work. If Esquivels name sounds familiar, she is the author of the best-selling Like Water for Chocolate, which I loved and found hilarious.Not nearly as funny, Swift as Desire is more philosophical. Júbilo was born with a smile on his face. Though his Spanish mother and Mayan grandmother argue incessantly because the grandmother is angry her son married a

At first, I thought this book was descriptive and interesting. Around the beginning middle section I was slightly uninterested because I was expecting a different account of Júbilo and more of how he uses his gift. However, the book became more and more interesting and I found it difficult to put it down. The last few pages or so were absolutely beautiful in their description of losing the ones we love and dealing with their death. I also thought Esquivel was accurate and very honest about Love
