About This Novel
Catalina is a beautiful, simple girl whose legs were disabled in an accident. On this day, while the whole city warmly welcomed the two Valero brothers as they returned home in fine clothes, Catalina prayed sadly alone in the monastery. At this time, a miracle came unexpectedly, and she was told that the one who served God the most among the three Valero brothers could cure her disability. Which one of the three brothers will this person be? Is this a prank or a real apparition of the Virgin Mary?

Overall pretty good
Katarina's character is quite fleshed out, but I personally prefer Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. The background is okay, and the reader can understand the background atmosphere of that era through Catalina. This kind of literary works should appear more often in limited exemptions so that more people can read them.
The characters and characteristics of the characters are written in great detail. Through their behaviors, you can feel the positive energy of this book.

good
The description is really good. Come on.
All living beings, how about a flute?
Have an optimistic outlook on life
There will always be surprises in life
It started like a historical novel, then it felt like a religious novel, then it felt like a philosophical novel, and then... It turned into a legend. Finally, Don Quixote appeared, and the whole book became a game... Speechless. Fortunately, the first half is still very exciting.
A good book
Read this book.
