From the beloved author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their
Accents and In the Time of Butterflies, an epic and intimate novel
about two generations of women and the personal impact of
history.It is the summer of 1960, and Camila Henriquez Urena is
about to travel from Poughkeepsie to Cuba to join Fidel Castro's
revolution. As the daughter of Salome Urena -- the
nineteenth-century revolutionary Dominicana poet -- activism is
part of Camila's inheritance. Yet she also knows the confusion of
exile and a painful curiosity about the mother she never knew. Now,
as she takes up her mother's legacy, she delves behind the public
facts of her mother's life and pieces together the story of the
private Salome -- and thus her own story.
