Modern Flood - Paperback

by Elisa Arraiz Lucca (Author)

Just before the turn of the 21st Century, unprecedented torrential rains fell over the "Cordillera de la Costa," North of Venezuela. The downpour not only lasted for weeks, but each day seemed to be worse than the other.

The mountains that separate Caracas City from the Caribbean Sea absorbed the falling water until December 16th, when they couldn't take more, exploding like a volcano. A devastating tsunami-like mudslide and huge boulders weighing thousands of pounds washed ashore. Entire coastline residential areas got buried, and thousands of people perished or disappeared.When this modern deluge happened, the path of four friends who experienced the tsunami changed forever. Carmela, Anita, Vladimir, and Felipe reinvented their lives during the following years in America and Europe, trying to understand what happened and each one keeping an unspeakable secret.
