Description

Alvarez's fourth novel begins in the 19th century and continues into the 20th, telling in alternating chapters the story of SalomT UreÂªa and her daughter, Camila. SalomT, who was once the fiery poet laureate of the Dominican Republic, gave up her career to raise her family, and died young of tuberculosis. Camila, who came of age and immigrated to America during World War II, was a professor at Vassar who had to reconcile her career with the early loss of her mother and her conflicted feelings about her homeland.
