"I believe that if someone knew my life story, they would see it as a life poorly lived, full of secrets, betrayals, concealments. But in this story where almost everything I do, I do wrong, I allow myself to believe that there is one thing, just one thing, that I do well." During the 1950s and 60s, like many women of her time, Ofelia quietly but definitively broke with family and social dictates: she would not simply be a housewife, she would not work alongside her father, she would not shy away from the complexities of love. In times of upheaval and questioning of gender roles, Eduardo Sacheri has written a beautiful novel brimming with questions about falling in love, exclusive love, marriage, pain, secrecy, destiny, and inner freedom. And he offers us a heroine fit for all times when the foundations of a moral order crumble and a new one is born. Critics have said... "Sacheri, like few others, manages to give a universal projection to the stories he tells. Stories of ordinary people where the everyday becomes epic." -- "I believe that if someone knew my life story, they would see it as a life poorly lived, full of secrets, betrayals, concealments.
