«Paciencia de Santo» is the novel by Andrew M. Greeley, published in 1988 by Martínez Roca in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, Red Kane, is a journalist incapable of feeling satisfied: he smokes, drinks, ignores his children, and alternates between love for his wife and an affair. After a car runs him over in Chicago and he unexpectedly survives, he begins to question his conduct and his ties with God and with others.
The volume belongs to the Libros Record collection of Ediciones Martínez Roca; its original English title is Patience of a Saint.
For readers of adult fiction who appreciate psychological portraits with irony and conflicts between faith, family, and personal desires.
