The gripping story of two families struggling to overcome their own destinies.

A mosaic of treachery and revenge, of possible and impossible loves, and of the great adventure that is living and surviving in a land marked by intolerance and outrage.

Marian Miller, an NGO aid worker, is asked to write a report on illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian territories. In order to do so, she wants to make sure she understands both sides of the story. Marian arranges a meeting in Israel with Ezekiel Zucker, an elderly man who, like many others, has a lot to tell and also, a secret to hide. Ezekiel will narrate his story as if it were a massive jigsaw puzzle with many complex pieces and Marian will tell him the version she's familiar with: the Arab one.

At the twilight of the 19th century, the Zuckers are banned from their homeland of Russia because they are Jewish. After undergoing unspeakable horrors and injustices under the tsar's rule, they set out for the Promised Land and buy land owned by the Ziads, an Arab family headed by a man named Ahmed. The two men, Ahmed Ziad and Samuel Zucker, will establish a strong bond, a friendship that can overcome religious and political differences and that will continue on for generations.

This riveting family saga that culminates in 1948 is not only Julia Navarro's best and most ambitious novel yet, it's a tale filled with real people taking responsibility for their own destinies by following their dreams and fighting for their lives. An unforgettable novel that, like all of history's greatest books, conceals many novels within.

A journalist receives a proposal to investigate the eventful life of his great-grandmother, about whom all that is known is that she fled Spain, abandoning her husband and child, shortly before the Civil War broke out.

The memoir of an entire century, this novel adds a new, original chapter to Julia Navarro's best-selling career. Tell Me Who I Am surprises and enchants with a captivating and heartrending story. This is a novel about memory and identity with an exceptionally well-drawn and unforgettable literary character: a woman who throughout her extraordinary life was able to achieve the highly difficult feat of knowing herself. A victim of her mistakes, aware of her guilt, frightened by her traumas, she is above all an anti-heroine, a flesh-and-blood woman who always acts according to her principles, facing up to every challenge and making errors for which she will never fully pay. A woman who decided that she couldn't be neutral in this life.

Navarro's most personal novel surprises for its melodrama and the raw emotions transmitted by many of its stories. It is filled with pure adventure, introspection and political chronicle. From the tumultuous years of the Second Spanish Republic to the fall of the Berlin Wall, including World War II and the Cold War, these pages are packed with intrigue, emotion, politics, espionage, love, betrayal and settings like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Buenos Aires, Mexico, Moscow, London, Berlin and Warsaw with brief stopovers in The Basque Country, Cairo, Athens, Lisbon and New York.

The book that continues to open hearts and touch readers' nerves.

The book that continues to open hearts and touch readers' nerves.

We parents project our life expectations onto our children, our frustrations, our unresolved eras of childhood or adolescence, our 'what ifs' and our unsatisfied needs, hoping unconsciously that they will become an extension of ourselves and give closure to those unfinished issues.

Getting to know the "hidden part" of our relationship, understanding why this child, specifically this one, pulls us out of our pigeonhole so easily, why this child annoys us, why it is so difficult for us to love them, why are we determined to change them, and why we pressure them with such insistence so that they do or stop doing, opens the door to the possibility of a deep change in our relationship with that child.

Realizing this contributes to transforming feelings of rejection, rancor and the ensuing guilt, which can be devastating, facilitating the transition toward the only feeling that heals, unites and transforms: love.

What happens to humanity if there is no curiosity for the future or nostalgia for the past_ What would replace its dreams_ Are we humans or actors_ These are some of the themes that one can find in this work armed with elements of romanticism, surrealism, science fiction and dystopia. It is a rigorous social analysis and Murrays narrative style takes us on a trip reminiscent of Dune across time.
¿Sería mejor el mundo? ¿Qué le pasaría al humano sin curiosidad por el futuro o nostalgia por el pasado? ¿Qué reemplazaría esos sueños? Son algunas de las respuestas que se pueden encontrar en esta obra armada con toda corrección con elementos de ciencia ficción distópica, un riguroso análisis social y la maestría narrativa de Clark Murray, cuyo poder es capaz de hacernos viajar sin ninguna duda, como si fuera un navegante de Dunas, a través del tiempo.
El segundo libro del profesor Murray en la colección “Éxodos” que se forma de escritores extranjeros que escriben en su idioma las impresiones y visiones acerca del mundo a través de una visión obtenida de vivir en una ciudad como México o alguna de Latinoamérica.
