The Aguero Sisters - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpts from reviews of Cristina Garcia's The Aguero Sisters "An extraordinary new novel does justice to the Cuba of history as well as the Cuba of imagination....Garcia has crafted a beautifully rounded work of art, as warm and wry and sensuous as the island she so clearly loves." --"Time "In 1992, Cristina Garcia's "Dreaming in Cuban announced the presence of a new star in the American literary firmament.... Garcia's remarkable second novel, "The Aguero Sisters, is even better, a deeper, more profound plunge into the mysteries of loyalty, love and identity (national, familial and otherwise)....Cristina Garcia again proves herself a gifted chronicler of exile's promise and peril." --"Newsday "Five years after her debut, the former journalist has made good on her early promise with a superb second novel, "The Aguero Sisters....With sensual prose and a plot that captures the angst of the Cuban diaspora...Garcia seductively draws us in and refuses to let go." --"Newsweek "The conventions of magic realism can either amplify the story and give it resonance or fragment the narrative, draining it of clarity. Garcia's beautifully written second novel...seems to embody both extremes....Her prose is lush and rhythmic, so that the novel has an almost feverish air." Booklist
The tale of two sisters haunted by the death of their parents and separated by the Cuban revolution. Dovetailed with the story of the two sisters is that of their parents - a story haunted by a single event; in 1948 Ignacio and Blanca Aguero explored the Zapata Swamp on horseback.
