- Summary:
- Translated by Edward Waters Hood, with an afterword by Ann Gonzalez. "In this intriguing fictional work, a Nicaraguan writer (with obvious parallels to Aguilar herself) prepares a historical novel about the Spanish conquest of her homeland, but from an unusual perspective .... Six women the period -- three Spanish, two Native American, and one of mixed heritage -- emerge as a chorus to sing laments about the conquest, each woman representing different stakes in the confrontation between Old World and New.
