Description
Isabel de la Hoz is a young, bourgeois and fanciful woman who finds herself suddenly relocated to Mexico during the Cristero Wars. These wars are a real (that is to say tragic) metaphor for the contradictions between emotional and institutional religiosity. Isabel finds it impossible to assimilate herself with the between-the-wars bourgeoisie, as happy and cosy as Alfonso XIII. She was a fairytale revolutionary, before getting lost within the labyrinths of the reality of revolution, love, and excess. This novel tells us a story of the search for the real, starting from our innate taste for the surreal.
