“Miracle from Hell” is a testimony of series of events that might make you wonder about the existence of God at the beginning. But the experiences here by written by the main character will tell you otherwise. The scenario presented here is much more than a simple miracle from life. Is actually a self-exorcism! When a writer believes in what he writes, the scripture has much more value. Therefore, this book is not susceptible of any changes. Just as we cannot change our own lives, much less our present, which is the result of our actions. One must also comprehend what Mr. Ortega went through in order to write a book such as this, and how hard it must’ve been to present us with experiences, such as misery, poverty, child abuse, jeer, atheism, and some exclusive acts performed by men, women, and children. This story reminded me the world of those ancient narrators from a “Magical Realism.” After the death of his father we read about a miserable boy who’s able to see far into the future, through an amazing conversation with the evil he carries within. Till then, he is able to change and survive his own destiny. What it seemed at the beginning like a happy ending became the beginning of a drama of misery and human degradation. Miracle from hell by Luis Ortega 9 With the quick death of the father of the central character, in the end it was only a sad memory of what it could have been. As of that, moment the rest of the characters follow one another magically into the abyss of a never ending misery. The father, whose absence forever marked the future of this family, was only the beginning of the anecdote. This book reminds us of the Mexican origin and shows us their true essence as Latin American, either indigenous, or Spanish, racially mixed, mulatos, Creole, etc. with an exception. One evil grandmother who reminded me of Judas or like if she was a descendent of Queen Victoria; even Lucrecia Borgia, the grandmother of Eréndira or any one from that elite, completely ignoring she was not one of them, but totally the opposite; an aborigine from a battered country. The grandfather however is a kindness model, or seem to be before the attacks of his cruel wife which becomes the grandmother of our main character. Tolerating someone with an utmost wrongful behavior is not necessarily an act of kindness; instead; this is an irresponsible act that harms everyone.
