Review
The novel by Javier Chacón Sanchis has several opinions on the matter. In addition to reviews and comments that make you decide for it. Or not.
One of the comments they often make has to do with the ease of reading. The Three Capes Finisterre is a novel that can be read easily and, in addition, you empathize almost from the beginning with the protagonist, Izan, who, despite being tender, shows what the cruel reality he lives is like.
Throughout the pages you see the evolution of the character, but at the same time, from what we read, Izan's personality and the environment also make us reflect on how we react to stimuli and why we do one thing or another.
Keep in mind that we are talking about a book that deals with addiction and why the decisions that are made are made until we are no longer "masters of our own life."
Finally, we leave you, in the author's own words, what The Three Capes Finisterre means to him:
«This book tries to be an inspiring read, the result of a search for the meaning of the things that happen to us in life, and the need for nudity of a restless soul. A story of personal improvement in which the author and protagonist are nourished at the same time to grow and win the hard fight against the ghosts that destroy the human will.
A book with which it is hoped that readers will not only enjoy Izan's entertaining and exciting story, but will also invite them to reflect on themselves, and on how we react to certain stimuli that try for some reason to "Let's stop being owners of our own lives."
