«Movimiento Fuerte» is the literary fiction novel by Jonathan Franzen, published by Alfaguara in 2004 in paperback (584 pages, in Spanish).
Louis Holland arrives in Boston amid a wave of earthquakes, and the first one causes the death of his grandmother. In the dispute over the inheritance, he meets a brilliant seismologist and falls in love with her; what she discovers about the origin of the tremors complicates the plot and serves as a portrait of American society of its time.
The work was originally published as «Strong Motion» in 1992.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and contemporary narrative seeking a novel with social and scientific depth.
