A Handbook to Luck

Set against the late 1960s and spanning twenty years, A Handbook to Luck follows the lives of three vividly drawn children—Enrique, Marta, and Leila—whose paths cross and diverge across different continents and circumstances. Through their stories, the novel explores themes of love, hope, and the unpredictable nature of luck, revealing how ordinary lives are profoundly shaped by circumstance. Cristina García’s beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant storytelling captures the nuances of human connection and resilience.
