About this book
When Rodolfo returns to his native city of Villaverde after completing his education, he discovers a debt he can never repay—his beloved aunts have sacrificed their fortune to provide him with his schooling. Rafael Delgado's Angelina tells the poignant story of a young man coming home to find that in his absence, a gentle and devoted young woman named Angelina has become the steadying force in his family's life, caring tenderly for the elderly women who once raised him.
As Rodolfo settles back into his childhood home, gratitude gradually transforms into deeper feelings. This classic Mexican romance explores the tension between obligation and affection, duty and desire, as a man learns to recognize love in the most unexpected places. Delgado's lyrical prose captures the emotional landscape of 19th-century Mexican society, where social class, family honor, and personal integrity shape the course of human connection.
Originally published to critical acclaim across Europe and Latin America, Angelina remains a masterwork of romantic fiction that resonates with timeless themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the quiet strength of those who serve with unwavering devotion. Perfect for listeners who appreciate literary romance with depth and historical richness, this audiobook offers an intimate portrait of hearts learning to recognize their true desires.
