About this product
Product Information
LONGLISTED FOR THE QUEEN SOFÍA SPANISH INSTITUTE TRANSLATION PRIZE A masterful novel exploring womanhood, class, and tradition in 1950s Colombia From her home in Paris, Lina recalls the story of three women whose lives unfold in the conservative city of Barranquilla in Colombia. Amid parties at the Country Club and strolls along the promenade in Puerto Colombia unfurls a story of sensuality suppressed by violence; a narrative of oppression in which Dora, Catalina, and Beatriz are victims of a patriarchy that is woven into the social fabric. In Lina's obsessive account of the past, this masterful novel transforms personal anecdotes into a profound panorama of Colombian society towards the end of the 1950s. From private memories to historical reality, the structure of this book is full of precision, poetry, and exile's insight. Standing above and apart from her contemporaries of the Latin American literary boom, Marvel Moreno narrates a reality that describes the private lives of the people of Barranquilla while offering a compelling perspective on the human condition. "One of the hundred most influential women in the history of Colombia."-- Cromos magazine

Reviews
"Furiously feminine, raw and contemporary, Marvel Moreno lights up any literary canon with her savage portrayal: a delicate arbitrariness with which she narrated what she wanted, when she wanted, without asking anyone for permission."Margarita García Robayo, author of Fish Soup "Colombian writer Moreno (1939-1995) makes her English-language debut with a layered if diffuse story of late 1970s Colombia...Fans of the Latin American Boom will want to give this a look."Publishers Weekly "Moreno's dense and incrementally meandering prose recites a litany of suffering layered upon suffering. Man's inhumanity to (wo)man couldn't be made any clearer."--Kirkus Reviews "Ambitious... December Breeze placed Moreno among the emerging Latin American women writers who became part of one of the most significant literary developments in the last two decades of the 20th century."--Esperanza Hope Snyder, On the Seawall "One of the hundred most influential women in the history of Colombia."Cromos magazine "Marvel Moreno has become one of the most renowned authors of contemporary Colombian literature."La Prensa (Colombia)
