My 1st Review of Miguel the Barber

This review appeared the other day at amazon.com written by Keving Ehrlich:

Miguel the Barber, Vitae Bergman's sixth book and fourth novel, is not only a riveting murder mystery but also a moving spiritual journey.

Who is Miguel the barber and why is he living in hiding in an old Mexican fishing village with his granddaughter, Manuela? The novel's hero, a retired professor named Escudero, affectionately referred to as EhEh, is asked to dig up Miguel's past after the barber suffers a nervous collapse. What he finds is both horrifying and enlightening.

Vitae Bergman, by weaving a story through the points of view of several colorful characters that span three generations, creates unique visions of Los Angeles and Mexico City as well as the more mysterious and obscure areas of Mexico near San Carlos. The fishing village where Miguel resides, for instance, comes to life within the busy barber shop itself where fishermen must have their haircuts to entice their wives. The outside is filled with the sound of children playing soccer with a barely inflated ball.

The journey EhEh takes, at first with reluctance, to Mexico City and Los Angeles becomes one that is filled with surprises, both harrowing and wonderful. Vitae Bergman writes with an intimacy that keeps us in the mind of his hero, and through his experiences, we follow his spiritual awakening. Vitae's deep love of humanity comes through in his prose, and like all of Vitae's books, the characters' spiritual awakenings become our own, as little by little we are exposed to a new way of experiencing life; one that celebrates the trust we put in each other to both protect and discover those things which are most dear; love and the experience of truly feeling alive.
