As an actor myself, I really appreciated this book Light and Shadows. The protagonist Teresa Guzman is a New York actress. She must act the role of a murdered prostitute, but the job proves to be very heavy and emotional. More than she can deal with. Totally absorbed by the role, she is tormented by the plight of her character. Teresa feels disappointed and let down by men.She no longer trusts them. However, she struggles with her fellings for Joaquin Solis, who is an admirer of her work. To win her heart and convince her of his sincerity, Joaquin has his work cut out for him.Eloisa Morales is talented singer. After the death of her fiancé she is trying to move on and make a new life. She does not know if she wants to continue her career as a singer. Marcos Marquez, the theater's biggest backer, puts up a fight not to lose her.The lives of the characters are contrasted very well with each other both in their separateness and their individuality. The relationship dynamics are fantastic. It is a journey of love and spirituality that brings them together so well.Estela Vazquez Perez has a wonderful and engaging writing style. The prose flows off the page like poetry. The plot is great and the characters are very human and easy to relate to with awesome snappy dialogue.I definitely recommend this book. Just buy it, you won't regret it.
