Interesting! Wonderful way to describe our history. It takes us into the Empire (US colonialism).

Wow, you’ve taken us very far back now. The letter is brilliant…very authentic in it’s character.

And now, of course, I need a quesito and some Puerto Rican espresso.

This is magnificent!A wonderful ,warm and sensitive journey
I love lyric sentence at the beginning:
“The torrent of clouds raced over the rays of the Caribbean sun, blackening the colonial port of San Juan within seconds.”

As i was reading i lost my breath,it was so exciting,so touching,full of fears and hopes,i expected he/main character/ gets all the dreams fulfilled,beautiful letter,arriving in a free country,much of the past run to reach the present.

Maybe your most beautiful experiences and feelings have been involved in telling this piece.Great love which led a dreamer long time ago,pulled you into the same stream of passion and love.It is nice when past meets future.

I think i have just read one of the best chapter of a novel,of all the books i memorized.
It is great compliment,it means you are seen in my eyes as one of the greatest authors.
I’m looking forward to your book,and hope you like me enough to get it with your autograph .
