(3) YA Perhaps unsurprisingly given his namesake, Neruda Diaz is in love with love, aspiring to the kind of enduring romance he believes his parents share. As Neruda discovers in several ways, however, real love is both more complicated and more inscrutable than he had imagined. Featuring a realistically diverse set of characters and a thoughtful protagonist, this absorbing romance also offers plenty of reflection on art and creativity.
