"The story follows a family through its women and their historical contex during 3 generations in Montevideo and Buenos Aires from a beginning miracle of Pajarita appearing in a tree to Eva who strive to be a poet instead of going to college as her parents wish and Salome who is attractedto dangerous political rebellion. Each woman pushes for her own choices of independence in life. Reading it, one can truly imagine living through each progressive segment of the 20th Century in South America."
"If you like Marquez and LLosa you may like this too. I am about half way through and this is a 5 star book for me. Has some magical components like Marquez; story takes place during the Peron years of Argentina. Good story and beautiful language."
"This novel follows the stories of 3 strong Uruguayan women (grandmother, daughter and grandaughter)through the 20th century. The personal stories are set against the backdrop of political struggle, economic crisis, the Tupamaro movement and dirty war of the 1970s. De Robertis weaves in historic details (e.g. the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Mitrione, the CIA agent who came to Uruguay to teach the army torture techniques). The last third (about the granddaughter who joins the Tupos) is hard to read, but she survives, and heals. Parts of it veer toward magical surrealism, a great Latin American style. The author's parents are Uruguayos, but she grew up in England and the US, and now lives in Oakland. This is one of the best novels I've read in a while."
"Having read a few other reviews, I expected to like this book. I was not prepared for the depth and power of its impact. This beautifully written tale reminds me of early books by Isabel Allende. It's easily read and understood, setting it apart from some literary fiction. Yet the prose is so gorgeous that it's like reading music. Every page is loaded with unexpected and scintillating analogies and descriptions. The characters ARE unforgettable, men and women of legends. I heartily recommend this beautiful work."
