Description
Carlos Fuentes traces Laura Diaz through the twentieth century – a life filled with a multitude of witty, heartbreaking scenes and the sounds, colours, tastes and scents of Mexico. A politically committed artist, Laura is also a wife and mother, a lover of great men, and a complicated and alluring heroine whose bravery prevails despite the loss of a brother, a son, and a grandson to the darkest forces of Mexico’s turbulent, often corrupt politics. The Years with Laura Diaz is the portrayal of a woman who truly loved, and whose life is the story of a nation (back cover).
