As their relationship progresses, marriage and motherhood come in quick succession, but for Maeve, with the joy of children also comes the struggle to hold on to the truest parts of herself. Decades later, on a small Irish island, the Moone family is poised for celebration but instead is struck by tragedy. Each family member must find solace in their own separate way, until one dazzling truth brings them back together.

The Dazzling Truth is poignantly beautiful!

Cullen writes in the most captivating prose. The words absolutely draw you in and leave you breathless, wanting more, regardless of how painful it is to experience the written words. Imperfect people, fitting their lives together through tragedy and again happiness, both painfully and then again with great hope, this novel is so beautifully written. Truly it covers some difficult issues with deep compassion.

From the day that old Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a bridge, the life of a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigured and covered in a blanket of bees, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff of superstition, a child kissed by the devil. But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales, who adopt him and care for him. As he grows up, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes, he can see what no one else can - visions of all that’s yet to come, both beautiful and dangerous.

Beautifully Written
Revisado: 01-10-20
One of the most beautifully written books I have read in a very long time. There is nothing lost in translation. It is detailed and captivating and pulls at the heartstrings. This book is culturally accurate and as such touches the soul in the most incredible way as it is translated and narrated. It is supernatural and yet life at its' very essence. Absolutely masterfully crafted. I wept multiple times throughout the book only at the shear beauty of just the language of the writing. The narration is beautiful. What a joy to read and listen to. I loved it.
