ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONShe reminds me of Ana s Nin. It's important that we read novels like this, centered in desire and women's sexuality. --Luna MiguelIf she hadn't vindicated her right to feel pleasure, she would have lived blissfully, or at least at peace until her death. And, yet, even now she considered dissatisfaction intolerable, that state of sexual lethargy she was condemned to endure in her marriage to Luis. Freedom had a price, and she was paying it, harshly, in the worst way she could have possibly imagined. But afterwards, the doors to the world would be wide open for her. The time of the Amazon runs along three decades in the life of three cousins --Gaby, Virginia, and Isabel-- living in Paris in the sixties. Their relentless exploration of desire will lead to decisions that will exact a heavy toll on their lives. Their partners, their lovers, and their friends make up a narrative universe that revolves around the main preoccupations in the author's work: maturity, sexual pleasure, friendship, and sickness. Twenty-five years after her death, Marvel Moreno amazes us again with this, her second a final novel, a story about women ahead of their own time, who broke away from tradition in order to risk everything in the name of freedom.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/8/42/045/488/8420454885_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.95", "online_price" : "23.95", "our_price" : "23.95", "club_price" : "23.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
