International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award A radiant family saga set in a century of Mexican history, by one of the world\'s greatest writers.
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 cel.
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.
