Consider, as you answer this question, Romina’s relationship with Felipe and with her parents; her family’s history; her job as a history teacher; and the specter of the Only Three.

De Robertis' prose is so rich and the characters undergo so much development that I felt like I'd read a 700 page novel about them - except I devoured it in 2 days.A butcher’s daughter named Flaca, with her male cologne and her heartbreaking caballero swagger, cooks and cares for her friends. And throughout, again and again, the women will be tested by their families, lovers, society, and one another as they fight to live authentic lives. What I loved most about this story is the fact that Flaca, Romina, La Venus, Paz and Malena had a persistent desire to take up space and create a sanctuary for themselves in the midst of a broken nation where their safety couldn’t be guaranteed even if they obeyed all the laws. If you would like to get caught up in the lives of five resilient, flawed and endearing characters and learn some of Uruguay’s history along the way, then this is the perfect story for you! Sam ten pomysł może wydawać się sztuczny i niekoniecznie oryginalny, ale De Robertis po mistrzowsku opisuje napięcia między swoimi bohaterkami, pokazując jak wiele odcieni może mieć relacja w kobiecym stadzie.

A simple twist of fate brings Romina, Malena, Flaca, Anita also known as “La Venus” and Paz together—five cantoras, women who love women, who were extremely lucky to find one another in this time and place. Jest rok 1977 i od kilku lat Urugwaj, kraj będący kiedyś “oazą spokoju” ugina się pod ciężkim butem wojskowej dyktatury. I'm sure like many other readers, I was inspired to pick this book up thanks to the wonderful Hsinju and Gabriella who absolutely adored this book, and I finally picked it up this month! My heart might not survive another emotionally intense experience because what they’ve been through, I feel like I’ve been through, too. Romina, Flaca, La Venus, Malena and Paz are five of the most exquisite characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading.Over the course of the book, we grew to understand them like close friends, and there is something intimate about that.
