Spanning the life of Clara de Valle, her daughter Blanca, and her granddaughter, Alba, this book is infused with an ever-present sense of mysticism set against the development of an unnamed South American country. As the country develops from a backwater to a democracy, and then turns violently radical, the characters are swept up in its wake. Each woman is portrayed against Esteban Trueba, the patriarch, a stern and angry man, and constant source of mingled respect and fear throughout the book. Well-written, interesting, and a good read.
