This evocative, moving, and gorgeously detailed novel is the
story of Alex Soberano, a contemporary man in crisis. A
tremendously successful New York businessman, Alex finds it
difficult to embrace joy and accept love. When his life
threatens to boil over, he escapes for a brief respite on
the West Coast. What waits for him there is something he
never could have imagined. Intertwined with Alex’s story are the stories of three
people from different times and places whose lives affect
him in surprising ways: • A woman from the South American city of Anhelo in 1928
that everyone knows as "Vidente." For decades, Vidente, has
been one of Anhelo's most celebrated citizens because she
has the ability to read colors that speak of a person's
fate. However, during one such reading, she sees her own
future – a future that includes her imminent death.
• A man named Khaled who left his home in Bethlehem in 1920
to seek fortune in the South American town of Joya de la
Costa. He has barely begun to gain a foothold when he learns
that the wife and three children he left behind have been
murdered. When a magical woman enters his life, he believes
that destiny has smiled on him. However, destiny has only
just begun to deal with Khaled.
• A nineteen-year-old student named Dro who flies from the
South American country of Legado to Boston in 1985 and
immediately walks onto the campus of MIT expecting instant
admission. Dro's skills at mastering complex, ever-changing
differential equations intrigues the associate admissions
director. However, the person he intrigues the most is the
celebrated US ambassador from his country, and his
relationship with her will define his life. How the stories of these four people merge is the central
mystery of this arresting work of imagination. DIFFERENTIAL
EQUATIONS is a story that will sweep you up in its magic,
enrich you with its wisdom, and compel you with its deep
humanity.
