Gray Skies Tomorrow is a love store about two Mexicanas abroad. One is a bearded poet on an scholarship and the other a girl whose relatives control her by means of the purse strings. How they escape such contraints and manege an Icarus flight in rainy London is the burden of this prize-winning novel.
The book is simple; precisely for this reason it is moving. Confronted by books like this one always ends by remembering the phrase of Verlaine: “...and all the rest is literature”.
Ramón Xirau
Diálogos
If some virtue stands out in this text, it is its modesty and, next to that, the simple and objetive way in which events are portrayed. The plain language, serenely expressed, transmits a freshness tha, certainly, ought no to be confused with innocent narrative.
