Winner of the 1997 Rómulo Gallegos Prize, this novel tells the passionate story of Emilia Sauri and Daniel Cuenca, whose lives are intertwined from early childhood and disrupted by the upheavals of the Mexican Revolution. With unparalleled mastery and crystalline lightness, Ángeles Mastretta offers a vivid portrait of a woman as fragile as she is courageous, who emerges into the modern world by shedding the constraints and prejudices of her predecessors. The protagonist must face not only traditional domestic and feminine challenges but also the political turmoil of life in Mexico, forcing her to lead a double existence to remain faithful to her first love.
