Publisher's Synopsis
The Beautiful World of the Alive is the provocative love story of two people caught in the dance of consensual power dynamics, bound not only by passion but by the scars of their pasts.
Spanning several decades and set in locales like Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt, New York's Lower East Side, and the enchanted landscapes of New Mexico, The Beautiful World of the Alive follows Sylvia James and Andrés de León as they search for connection and meaning. Their intense relationship forces them to confront both personal and generational trauma, a legacy that shapes their desires and challenges their deepest beliefs.
With its exploration of the nature of devotion, the wounds passed down through generations, and the idea of soulmates, The Beautiful World of the Alive ultimately affirms the belief that there is magic in the world-if we are willing to face our darkness to find it.
