Description
'Alice Walker in this, the most beautiful, the most compassionate, the most sensuous of novels, has created a masterpiece.
It is one of the most life-enhancing novels you could hope to read.
Flawless' Mary Louden, THE TIMES'All your life you have the necessary illusion that you know all there is to know about heartbreak.
I hate to the one to tell you about the heartbreak you will experience after you die . . .'A family goes to the remote sierras of Mexico - the writer-to--be Susannah; her sister Magdalena; their father and mother.
There, amid indigenous people called the Mundo, they begin an encounter that will change them more than they ever could have dreamed.
This is a deeply sensual novel that explores the richness of female sexuality as a celebration of life, affirming the belief 'that it is the triumphant heart, not the conquered heart, that forgives. And that love is both timeless and beyond'.
