Description:
Candela lives in a house of women -- nine to be exact: six sisters, their mother, their grandmother, and their rich aunt Mary, who owns the house. Candela has had her disappointments in love and floats from one job to another, ending up at the local mortuary working as an apprentice embalmer. Her work on the late patriarch of a gypsy clan introduces her to the dead man's nephew Amador, who turns out to be both a successful businessman and a scintillating lover. Using a rich, associative style reminiscent of the films of Pedro Almodovar, author Angela Vallvey explores Candela's ingenious attempts to integrate the "last wild man" into her life.
