This sweeping, multi-generational family saga weaves the compelling story of Rosa Gerach, now looking back as she celebrates her ninety-fifth birthday in the United States. This novel is a powerful panorama of a woman's troubled, but ultimately successful, voyage beyond mere survival to empowerment and even a measure of prosperity.
Written with the loving touch of a granddaughter, the novel chronicles Rosa's struggles to keep her family together Puig Zalidivar gives Rosa a voice and a pen, and Rosa writes. Puig Zaldivar's novel spans the lifetime of 95-year-old Rosa Garach, from her 1900 marriage in Spain to shepherd Juan Garach; to dangerous times in a Cuba in the throes of revolution; to exile in New York City, and, finally, Miami. Adorned with 'wrinkles of happiness,' she triumphs in the end. -- Fabiola Santiago, Knight/Ridder News Service, The Boston Globe, January 9, 1999
