In the late 60s, three teenagers from around the globe are making
their way in the world: Enrique Florit, from Cuba, living in
southern California with his flamboyant magician father; Marta
Claros, getting by in the slums of San Salvador; Leila Rezvani, a
well-to-do surgeon's daughter in Tehran. We follow them through the
years, surviving war, disillusionment, and love, as their lives and
paths intersect. With its cast of vividly drawn characters, its
graceful movement through time, and the psychological shifts
between childhood and adulthood, "A Handbook to Luck" is a
beautiful, elegiac, and deeply emotional novel by beloved
storyteller Cristina Garcia.
