A remarkable memoir of one woman's struggle to survive the social upheaval, violence and transformation of Latin America over the past several decades. A story of tremendous strength, perseverance, motherhood and love.
This is a simple, deeply personal memoir of the author’s extraordinary life.. .This would be an excellent introduction for someone wanting to learn about Latin American history, as Marques’ family managed to survive so many significant events, and personal narratives are often easier to understand than broader histories.
