Questa raccolta approfondisce le vite delle donne nere nell'America del Sud all'inizio del XX secolo. Racconta le loro lotte contro l'oppressione e la violenza, tracciando i loro percorsi verso la scoperta di sé e l'emancipazione. Attraverso personaggi femminili avvincenti e le loro relazioni interconnesse, queste opere illustrano come l'amore e la speranza possano essere trovati anche nelle circostanze più oscure. È una potente narrazione di resilienza, perdono e della forza duratura dello spirito femminile.

'A romance of the last 500,000 years' from the Pulitzer prize winning author of THE COLOR PURPLE. A visionary cast of characters weave together their past and present in a brilliantly intricate tapestry of tales.It is the story of the dispossessed and displaced, of peoples whose history is ancient and whose future is yet to come. Here we meet Lissie, a woman of many pasts; Arveyda the great guitarist and his Latin American wife who has had to flee her homeland; Suwelo, the history teacher, and his former wife Fanny who has fallen in love with spirits. Hovering tantalisingly above their stories are Miss Celie and Shug, the beloved characters from THE COLOUR PURPLE.
