ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Scent of Desires is a love story, but also a great portrait of a Mexico preceding the onset of the Mexican Revolution. During the times of Porfirio Diaz' rule, the population's dissatisfaction and restlessness grew bigger and bigger. Different groups opposed to Diaz began to organize to challenge the president, among them, a group led by Francisco L. Madero. The Maderistas would then position themselves in different parts of Mexico and the southern United States, specifically in San Antonio, Texas, a key point for the fight. Mar a, at the time only 15 years old, was a young woman with a revolutionary spirit who wanted to escape her privileged social standing to promote women's suffrage, participate in politics, and start a life of dedication for the most needy. The writings of Pr xedis G. Guerrero published in the newspaper Regeneraci n and Les mis rable by Victor Hugo, would instill that audacity and drive in her. But it would not be an easy task: her mother's care and social customs, together with the restrictions of being a woman, would make her face many different obstacles. However, fate is turned upside down when she meets a young doctor who recently arrived in San Antonio, Daniel Chapman. Soon, he will become a confidant and friend, as a powerful bond will bind them together.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/6/07/380/141/6073801416_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.95", "online_price" : "17.95", "our_price" : "17.95", "club_price" : "17.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
