Beneath the Rainbow

By Manuel Tristante

AN LGBT YOUNG ADULT ROMANCE TO LAUGH, IDENTIFY AND EMOTION!

Author's Note: Sometimes leaving is the only way to discover who you really are.
Synopsis:
Alexander is a cheerful boy, a lover of reading, and a poet. Raised in a small town where most boys his age have other hobbies and the norm is to have a girlfriend by eighteen, he's always felt that he didn't fit in very well. His life changes drastically when he leaves town to begin his freshman year of college in the city. Despite his optimism upon arrival, destiny will soon test him, not everything will be joyous and his life will become a myriad of doubts, in which he will only be able to find answers by questioning everything he had previously believed.

What will you find inside?

1 A comedy and an LGBT romance.
2 A story of overcoming.
3 Young people looking for the reason for existence in love and family. It takes place in a common and familiar environment. The characters are pushed to the limit and their experiences will make you feel a thousand and one emotions.
4. An intimate story that will allow you to delve into the feelings of a young man, of a group of young people, who seek in love and in the encounter with their loved one, the reason for their existence.

You will laugh, you will be moved and you will identify with those emotions that make you understand that you are alive.

What else?

A great wink to the freedom of young people who today still live in lethargy, unwilling to assume their own lie; what their body, life and mind ask of them to be truly happy.

Benetah the rainbow is a story to feel alive. It tells the story of the life and love of Alejandro, an eighteen-year-old who moves from the village to the city to study Spanish philology. This journey transforms and liberates him. He leaves his parents' house, leaves the weight that oppresses him, to find who he really is. From a distance, he can see himself in the mirror and understand himself.

His innocence and his sense of humour allow him to meet other teenagers who, like him, bring their emotional conflicts to the classroom and to the bars where they meet to chat. Everything is learning. The protagonist's continuous reflection takes you back to your own life stories. Those moments when the first encounters with the other destabilised you.

What readers say:

"A narration written in a simple, entertaining and agile way that makes you can dive into the life and the heads of the protagonists and secondary and that the pages fly. Loaded with feelings, it will make you smile, it will make you angry and it is more than likely that you will skip tears. (...) It will not leave you indifferent", Weaving in Klingon's blog.

"It is a story where life's beautiful coincidences predominate, love not only among the protagonists with the obstacles they have to overcome, but also the importance of family support and especially that special figure such as grandparents", Lo que fue de ella's blog.

"Manuel Tristante takes us on a fabulous journey full of love, adversity, and real-life experiences. Beneath the Rainbow quickly grabs the reader's attention right from the beginning, making it difficult to stop reading," Ivan, Amazon Readers.
