Alfredo Félix-Díaz

PARTED GODS follows fraternal twins Antonella and Federico Adamo, artists, lovers, andeach other’s missing half, in the split second after a catastrophic accident suspends time. As Antonella slips into Federico’s memories, the novel unfolds through music, painting, and myth,tracing a relationship that refuses easy definition.
