Carmen, a teenage girl, attempts to overcome the social isolation and guilt family matriarchs have instilled in her, as her budding sexuality forms a powerful resistance against their domestic control.Forced to submit her book to government censors, del RÃo carefully constructed her critique, setting the novel in Chile during the 1950s with artfully masked references and significant silences.

About: Coming of age during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, Carmen struggles to overcome the social isolation and guilt imposed upon her by her family, developing through her budding sexuality a powerful resistance against their domestic control.
