Instead of entering the world crying, Don Jubilo was born with a smile on his face. He put his gift for hearing what was in people's hearts to good use in his job as a telegraph officer. But the telegraph is now obsolete and Don Jubilo lies on his deathbed, estranged from his beloved wife. What tragic event has come between two such sensuous, loving people, to cause their seemingly irreparable rift? Can daughter Luvia bring reconciliation by acting as an interpreter between them before it is too late? SWIFT AS DESIRE is Laura Esquivel's loving tribute to her father, who worked his own lifelong magic as a telegraph operator. In this enchanting, bittersweet novel, Esquivel shows us with warmth, style and humour how keeping secrets will always lead to unhappiness and how communication is the key to love.
