"Pilar Orsini Oquendo has just lost the love of her life. Her
fiance, Gonzalo, has been wrenched from her grasp by his untimely
passing. Left alone to grieve, she finds herself at their favorite
place, on a secluded beach in Spain. It is here where Gonzalo s
childhood friend finds Pilar and, in a fit of lust, rapes her.
Distraught and betrayed, Pilar soon finds the rape has produced a
pregnancy. Despite the difficulty, Pilar decides to keep the baby.
She struggles to wade through her emotional turmoil and continue
her ambitious career as a translator of American literature. While
speaking at Columbia University, Pilar meets Gus Brubaker. Gus is a
Spanish literature translator, and he is immediately taken in by
Pilar s intellect and stunning beauty. Pilar is conflicted and
still dealing with the aftermath of her rape as her attacker
continues his harassment. She is also pregnant. How will she
explain this to Gus, who, she believes, will surely leave her when
she reveals her pregnancy? The Translators tells a story of
troubled romance set in the world of linguistics and literature. As
Pilar and Gus travel the world together, they also must travel
beyond pains of the past. In the conquering of violence, there is a
possibility of healing and perhaps, a possibility of endless love."
