A family legend opens a saga of women's lives against the history of Uruguay.

Caro De Robertis connects private inheritance with a country's transformations. Choose this for readers who enjoy following changes across generations, noticing what is passed on as well as what is resisted. The attraction is the relationship between a family story and the struggle to claim an individual voice within it.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
