«La mujer habitada» is the novel by Gioconda Belli, published by Seix Barral in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Lavinia, a young architect, returns to Latin America after studying in Europe and her life changes when she meets Felipe. Her involvement in popular struggles connects with Itzá, an indigenous woman who resisted the Spanish conquistadors and is reborn in an orange tree to inspire her. A story of love and adventure set against the backdrop of the Sandinista Revolution, in which Gioconda Belli interweaves two eras to speak of freedom and the role of women.

Recommended for readers of contemporary Latin American fiction and those interested in novels with historical and political background.
