Emilia Sauri is the daughter of a Spanish mother and a Mayan herbalist father. In the midst of the hardships of the Mexican rebellions of the early 20th century, Emilia is torn between her love for two men: a childhood friend who runs off to fight in the strife, and a peace-loving doctor who reminds her of her own desire to practice medicine. An impassioned family at odds with the strict dictates of 19th-century Mexican decorum, the Sauris nurture a truly modern woman in Emilia, endowing her with enough gumption to become a physician, political rebel and thelover of two men. Ably translated by Peden (who has translated Laura Esquivel, Isabel Allende and others), the novel conveys the Mexican flair for folk narrative. Quantity Available: 1.
