Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Rebeldía, pasión por la literatura, feminismo y libertad sexual. La historia de una mujer singular. Sergio Ramírez investiga la historia de una mujer costarricense, Amanda Solano, que publicó una única novela y que nunca obtuvo el reconocimiento de sus paisanos. Tres de sus amigas nos ofrecen el testimonio de su vida y nos acercan a una mujer que destacó por su belleza, su inteligencia, su rebeldía, su interés por la cultura y por su atracción por la ideología comunista. Diferentes voces y personalidades, tres mujeres que hacen balance de una vida y su visión de un país, Costa Rica, mujeres que tuvieron el privilegio de estudiar en un colegio laico, de entrar en contacto con ideas revolucionarias y de vivir una sexualidad libre, dentro de una sociedad conservadora. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this novel, Sergio Ramírez explores the life of Costa Rican writer Amanda Solano through the testimonies given by three of her closest friends. Solano’s beauty and intelligence, her cultivated and non-conformist nature, and the attraction she felt for communist ideologies, feminism and sexual freedom were well noted; her work—she published a single novel,— however was unrecognized during her lifetime. The varied personalities and voices of three privileged women who had access to an education, contact with revolutionary ideas and who fully enjoyed their sexuality while living within the constraints of a conservative society paint a balanced picture of the life of an extraordinary woman and her country, Costa Rica.
