A radiant family saga set in a century of Mexican history, by one
of the world's greatest writers.
Carlos Fuentes's hope-filled new novel sees the twentieth century
through the eyes of Laura D'az, a woman who becomes as much a part
of our history as of the Mexican history she observes and helps to
create. Born in 1898, this extraordinary woman grows into a wife
and mother, becomes the lover of great men, and, before her death
in 1972, is celebrated as a politically committed artist. A
complicated and alluring heroine, she lives a happy life despite
the tragedies and losses she experiences, for she has borne witness
to great changes in her country's life, and she has loved and
understood with unflinching honesty.
In his most important novel in decades, Carlos Fuentes has created
a world filled with brilliantly colored scenes and heartbreaking
dramas. The result is a novel of subtle, penetrating insight and
immense power.
