I learned so much about Colombian society in the 70s and loved the way she developed the story. I was mesmerized by a secondary character who inhabits the narrative weaving in and out like a whisper rather than a full-fledged protagonist.
What a gorgeous reading. Thank you for the recommendation.. I am currently reading an Irish tour the force, Niall Williams, "History of the Rain," and when I finish, I am looking forward to Benjamin Moser's biography of the Brazilian writer Clarise Lispector, "Why this World."

Must read! I'm very intrigued.
I love her writing. It's lyrical and beautiful and challenging and pulls you into the world she has created.
Absolutely! I'm thinking of choosing it for our next book club.
I loved her first books, Fruit from the Drunken Tree even more.
Good to know! I haven't read that yet.

Thanks for sharing! The Moser biography is also on my reading list ...
