The Inheritance Rafael Reyes-Ruiz

Developing several narrative threads, Reyes-Ruiz masterfully weaves together an intricate plot set in Dubai where the novel's protagonists discover themselves through the search for a mysterious 16th Century antique.

Reyes-Ruiz's razor-sharp prose allows the reader to visually experience every page. It creates what John Gardner calls a "vivid and continuous fictional dream." It flows with the vital impulse of the characters and dwells on their inner lives revealing the trials and tribulations of the human condition.
