It is only in Antigua, under the watchful eyes of "the others" -- a chorus of female ancestral spirits -- that Josefa and Violeta discover that even in the aftermath of violence and betrayal they can control their own destinies.
Exquisitely crafted and written in beautiful, lyrical prose, Marcela Serrano's unforgettable novel about friendship, forgiveness, and second chances speaks to every woman who has experienced the wrenching divide between professional ambition and family responsibility, who has been torn between the excitement of illicit passion and the security of marriage, who has craved the thrill of success while yearning for solitude in an often chaotic, invasive world.
