Description:
Family, history, and love fire this spirited new novel from award-winning author Kathleen Alcala. Just before 1900, Estela moves with her infant son from a small village to Mexico City, in part to flee her past, in part to be near her lover -- a society doctor, who she discovers is now married. Estela finds herself swept up into the beginnings of the country's feminist movement -- with its unlikely center a wealthy woman who sets up a school for prostitutes and an all-women orchestra. Estela's son, Noe, grows up in this world to become a dissident journalist enmeshed in his own dangerous liaisons. Incorporating characters from Alcala's previous novels but standing complete on its own, Treasures in Heaven weaves a rich and eventful tapestry of people and ideas.
