Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Translated from the Spanish by Nick Caistor with Hebe Powell.
Upon its original publication, Carlos Fuentes declared Divine Punishment to be the quintessential Central American novel. In this, the greatest work of a storied literary career, Sergio RamÃrez transforms the most celebrated criminal trial in Nicaraguan history the alleged murders in 1933 of two high society women and his employer by a social-climbing bon vivant named Oliverio Castañeda into an examination of the entire Nicaraguan society at the brink of the first Somosa dictatorship. Passion, money, sex, gossip, political intrigue, medical malpractice and judicial corruption all merge into a novel that reads like a courtroom drama wrapped in yellow journalism disguised as historical fiction posing as a scandal of the first order.
