Allí logró cumplir su sueño: convertirse en la chef de una prestigiosa pastelería. Su vida gira en torno a las mezclas de azúcar y chocolate, aunque ella misma no sea una persona dulce. No tiene tiempo para fantasear, mucho menos para recordar. Nick sí la recuerda, a ratos, cuando no está ocupado atendiendo el hotel que consiguió fundar junto a su hermana. Bajo el calor caribeño y entre los turistas entusiasmados, se da el permiso de volar al pasado, a su adolescencia... cuando ella estaba cerca. Han pasado diez años desde que Isla y Nick se vieron por última vez. Diez años en los que juraron olvidarse, dejar atrás los veranos que vivieron y borrar de sus cuerpos las huellas del otro. Diez años que llegan a su fin cuando Isla regresa al lugar donde empezó todo. Una pastelería por inaugurar y el amor a la familia serán los encargados de volverlos a unir, de obligarlos a hacer frente a sus errores. A aceptar que lo que dejaron en Aruba no es tan fácil de olvidar.
Lo que lengua mortal decir no pudo
by Alfredo IriarteEn este libro, Alfredo Iriarte cuestiona la versión oficial de varios acontecimientos claves en la historia de Colombia y otros países hispanoamericanos, y revela verdades del pasado que muchos han querido ocultar. "La síntesis de todo es que yo soy padrino de estas páginas y autor del título. Y el comienzo de la historia es como sigue. Cuenta Alfredo que cierta noche en que compartía whiskies con Enrique Santos Calderón y jugos y compotas conmigo, "se nos ocurrió la idea de que yo podría mamarles gallo a algunos de los dogmas de la historia colombiana". Así fue. "Y lo primero que surgió, como iniciación de una nueva vida laboral, fue la idea de controvertir, con pruebas en la mano y una sonrisa en la boca, ciertas Verdades Falaces de nuestra historia. Quedó acordado que Iriarte se dedicaría a ello. Y como se trataba de sacar a luz hechos que no habían podido ser relatados por culpa de un silencioso manto de censura, se me antojó que sería interesante lanzar una declaración de intenciones cogiéndole el rabo al famoso soneto patrio de don Miguel Antonio Caro. Así, pues, con tono de parodia e impulso irreverente, la futura serie quedó bautizada "Lo que lengua mortal decir no pudo"". Del prólogo de Daniel Samper Pizano
