The Years with Laura Diaz Paperback - 2001
by Carlos Fuentes
Fuentes gives readers a richly painted portrait of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of Laura Daz--a woman who becomes a part of the Mexican history she observes and helps to create.
Summary
A radiant family saga set in a century of Mexican history, by one of the world's greatest writers.
Carlos Fuentes's hope-filled new novel sees the twentieth century through the eyes of Laura D'az, a woman who becomes as much a part of our history as of the Mexican history she observes and helps to create. Born in 1898, this extraordinary woman grows into a wife and mother, becomes the lover of great men, and, before her death in 1972, is celebrated as a politically committed artist. A complicated and alluring heroine, she lives a happy life despite the tragedies and losses she experiences, for she has borne witness to great changes in her country's life, and she has loved and understood with unflinching honesty.
In his most important novel in decades, Carlos Fuentes has created a world filled with brilliantly colored scenes and heartbreaking dramas. The result is a novel of subtle, penetrating insight and immense power.
