- Here’s what happens:
- This wonderfully vivid story explores the lives of three generations of Uruguayan women–both their most lively adventures and the darkest corners of their existences. De Robertis takes us through their triumphs, their loneliness, their loves, their losses–all against the backdrop of a Latin America striving to discover its role on the global stage.
- It’s good because:
- This is the kind of vibrant, serpentine piece of magical realism literature that my soul craves. Brimming with strong and dynamic heroines and family curses, I started this novel complacently, feeling like I didn’t have time to read, but I ended up thinking about this book nonstop. I loved these bold, strong, flawed, secretive, independent women.
- Read if:
- Fans of Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, read this.
