Synopsis
Here is a thing everyone wants:
A miracle.
Here is a thing everyone fears:
What it takes to get one.
Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.
At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.
They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.
A miracle.

Le style d’écriture de Maggie Stiefwater dans ce roman (je n’ai pas lu d’autres livres d’elle, cela dit) est vraiment très travaillé, très poétique et métaphorique, mais il semblerait que l’effort se soit concentré autour de l’écriture seulement… J’ai eu énormément de mal à me repérer dans qui était qui (notamment dans Les Saints, la famille Soria) Pourquoi autant de saints ?
