The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel

The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel

New York Times bestselling author Laura Esquivel brings readers a tantalizing sensory experience with her wildly inventive novel of a love spanning many lifetimes. It s the year 2200, and Azucena Martinez is a lonely astroanalyst living in Mexico City. She has finally repaid the karmic debts she accumulated during her previous fourteen thousand lives, and in recognition of her newfound purity of spirit, she will at last be permitted to meet her twin soul, Rodrigo Sanchez. But their perfect union is limited to just one night of bliss, as Rodrigo is framed for murder soon after and banished. As Azucena sets off in search for her lost love, she will trigger a chain of events that puts her in the midst of an intergalactic political uproar.

Accompanied by stunning original illustrations from Spanish artist Miguelanxo Prado, the music of Puccini, and traditional Mexican danzon, The Law of Love is a feast for the senses and an unforgettable journey through time, space, and the human heart.
