The Dawn by Gonzalo E. Zabala In the summer of 1997, Gonzalo—a shy, working-class mechanic—meets Valentina, a sophisticated young woman from a world far removed from his own. What begins as a simple summer connection slowly turns into something much deeper, as they discover pieces of themselves they never knew were missing. But Valentina is hiding a truth too heavy to share, and time is not on their side. Set against the backdrop of Mar del Plata's golden coast, The Dawn is a tender, atmospheric love story about brief moments, unspoken words, and the kind of bond that transforms us—forever. For readers of Nicholas Sparks and Jojo Moyes, The Dawn is a beautifully told, emotionally charged novel that stays with you long after the final page.
