"The Secret of the Bulls" is a thoroughly enchanting and lush romantic novel, a passionate family saga that brings to life the brilliantly-colored world of prerevolutionary Cuba. It is a love story, the story of Maximiliano and Dolores's lifelong passionate love for one another, anchored firmly in a world where love stories are larger than life, where desires are shamelessly hot, where male pride is fierce, and family loyalty sacred.
Bernardo's original and spellbinding novel explores three generations of love and passion, forbidden kisses, and enduring family pride. "The Secret of the Bulls" is an epic, lusty novel, sometimes comic, sometimes tragic-a novel that seeks to understand the psychology of machismo in a culture steeped in both tradition and tragedy.
Esta cautivadora novela de la Cuba de antano se merece una amplia acogida debido a su suntuosa narrative. Los panoramas, los sonidos, y los aromas de La Habana transportaran a los lectores a una tierra que hoy les tienen prohibido visitar. -James Michener
