Review
Love is a heavy weight
By Alberto Hayek on April 1, 2019 - Amazon.com
And, in this book the author shows how in spite of its heavy weight love can be redeeming. Rarely one finds a book in which reality trumps fiction. I read it within a couple of days because there is suffering, there is love, there is abandonment, there is passion for her paintings, her poems and now for her book. From the first to the last page a strong bond ties author and reader. In the end, it is a story about emotional commitments that lead to the survival of a strong woman with much faith in her children and herself. Fascinating woman. One can see how men succumb to a misterios aura that lead to liaisons in which love and betrayal contribute to her experiences as an artist honestly expressing her soul in a canvas and in her writings.
A brave novel for everyone!

The weight of love is a very brave and honest novel. I found so many moments where I related my self emotionally to the character. I had complete empathy towards the wide range of experiences that Hanna went through.
Its a book for everyone no matter what is your favorite genre, this book is easy to follow and stimulant at the same time. Really recommend it!
This book has an incredible lesson
By Luis Alejandro Dávila López on June 25, 2019 - Amazon.es
This book is an incredible lesson about resilience. The story of Hanna is a reflection of many people today suffering from different levels of abuse and on how they manage to find refuge in other subjects such as arts to cope with their environment and do something positive with it. I recommend this book and hope everyone find strength in these words.
