Summary

¿Conoces de verdad a la gente que más te quiere? ¿Sabes con que sueñan tus mejores amigos? ¿Te atreves a descubrir algo insólito de ti mismo?

En Cartas cruzadas, novela del autor de La ladrona de libros, el destino está a punto de cruzarse en tu camino.

Ed Kennedy es un chico cualquiera en un barrio cualquiera de una gran ciudad. Vive en un maltrecho apartamento, se gana la vida conduciendo un taxi, está absolutamente enamorado de su mejor amiga y adora a su perro cafeinómano, Doorman. Su vida, como la de sus amigos, se desenvuelve apacible entre la rutina y la apatía hasta que un día evita el robo de un banco. Sin querer. Y es entonces cuando llega la primera carta.

A partir de ese momento nuestro chico recorrerá la ciudad sembrando el bien y el mal (solo cuando es necesario) hasta que logre responder a la única pregunta que ronda su cabeza desde que su vida cambió por completo: ¿quién demonios está detrás de su misión?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of the extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller The Book Thief.
 
How well do you really know the people who love you? Do you know what your closest friends dream about? Do you dare to find out something unusual about yourself?
 
Ed Kennedy is the run-of-the-mill guy in any ordinary neighborhood of a big city. He lives in a battered apartment, earns his living driving a taxi, is hopelessly in love with his best friend, and loves his coffee-drinking dog, Doorman. His life, like that of his friends, progresses daily in a peacefully and somewhat boring routine, until one day when he inadvertently prevents a bank robbery. That is when the first card arrives.
 
From that moment on he chooses to become the messenger, traveling through the city helping and hurting (only when necessary) until he manages to answer the question that has been running through his mind all along: who the hell is behind his mission?
