“La novela ganadora ofrece una lectura exquisita. La narración está construida sobre personajes que evolucionan por rutas impredecibles. Aquí no hay espacios para el descanso. La intensidad de cada escena, la palabra correcta y la frase memorable no faltan a lo largo de cada página”. Así reza el laudo de Premio Nacional Novela 2023 del Pen Club Internacional de Puerto Rico, otorgado a esta novela histórica.

Amélie Pasquier es la hija de un ingeniero viudo quien, desde el París de 1875, sueña con emigrar al Caribe detrás del negocio de la caña. Cuando Antoine Pasquier zarpa de Francia con la pequeña Amélie y su niñera, Magdalene, hacia Haití y posteriormente Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, se desata una extraordinaria cadena de eventos inspirados en hechos reales que lleva a Amelie, escudada por las fuerzas del vudú, y a la formidable Eusebia Tesara, a protagonizar un combate de gladiadoras por el control del cártel del azúcar en las postrimerías del siglo XIX. En medio de la invasión a Puerto Rico, y valiéndose de corrupción, sexo, sobornos y asesinatos, esta obra recoge la improbable saga mujeres que dominaron un mundo de hombres, guiadas por una ambición que retumbaría a través de los siglos. Absenta dulce es la segunda novela de Ada Torres Toro, también autora de las novelas Amores Innecesarios (2021), Paloma Palomero (2023) y Cuerpos desechables, a publicarse en 2024.

La escritora te va llevando por una historia de forma amena e interesante y siempre relacionando el licor de absenta de forma magistral en las escenas mas interesantes. Trata de el poderío femenino en una época donde la mujer no tenía voz ni voto. Una presentación magistral y entretenida de un momento en la historia de el desarrollo económico en Puerto Rico.
