Produktbeschreibung
Crime, corruption, and colonialism-as well as compassion, survival, and dark humor-are woven into The Puerto Rico Trilogy, which consists of three separate character-driven novels that focus on the Caribbean island and its complex political and social relationship with the U.S. The Odyssey of Pablo Camino, the first book, was inspired by a real-life incident when a stateside doctor, sent to the island for research, claimed in a letter that he purposely killed eight of his patients because of his disgust with the "natives." In the novel, the doctor's fictional son, a well-known, but troubled Puerto Rican artist, goes on a search for the truth of his father's possibly murderous past.
Autorenporträt
Robert Friedman has spent his entire professional career searching for Steinway grand pianos that have been loved and cared for over their many years, and occasionally decades, of ownership. Through his work over the past 40 years, these musical treasures have found their place in the hearts of new owners worldwide. With the help of the thousands of people in his network, his never-ending search continues for Steinways manufactured from 1853 to the present. Robert lives with his wife, Ronnie, in New York's beautiful Hudson Valley. Together they share seven children and thirteen grandchildren, spread far and wide. When he's not on the hunt for pianos, Robert enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and playing guitars, drums, and pianos.
