Summary:
"Elena, diplomática española y Alta Comisionada de Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados, está a punto de iniciar el viaje más importante de su vida. Mientras espera su vuelo a El Cairo, irá desgranando su historia y las poderosas razones que la impulsan a dar a su existencia un giro de ciento ochenta grados. Su compromiso con los desheredados de la tierra y su profundo amor por Diego Serrano, un médico sin fronteras y un ser humano extraordinario, son determinantes en su decisión. Un relato conmovedor ambientado en una de las regiones más pobres del planeta: los campos de refugiados del África subsahariana, donde millones de seres humanos luchan cada día por ganar la batalla al hambre, la miseria, la guerra, la enfermedad y la peor de las adversidades: la desesperanza. Son "Los otros hijos de Dios". Una tormentosa historia de amor que da pie a una trama apasionante, con unos personajes que cautivarán al lector y le moverán a la reflexión sobre uno de los dramas más graves y complejos de nuestro tiempo: los flujos migratorios." -- Back cover
"Elena, a Spanish diplomat and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, is about to start the most important journey of her life. While she waits for her flight to Cairo, she will reel off her story and the powerful reasons that drive her to give her existence a 180 degree turn. Her commitment to the disinherited on earth and her deep love for Diego Serrano, a doctor without borders and an extraordinary human being, are decisive in her decision. A moving story set in one of the poorest regions on the planet: the refugee camps of sub-Saharan Africa, where millions of human beings fight every day to win the battle against hunger, misery, war, disease and the worst of all adversities: hopelessness. They are "The other children of God." A stormy love story that gives rise to a passionate plot, with characters that will captivate the reader and move him to reflect on one of the most serious and complex dramas of our time: the migration of refugees.
