Description

An epic story of love, discovery, and experience by the writer of the greatest-selling memoir When I Was Puerto Rican.As a woman growing up in Italy, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is strongly attracted to Puerto Rico by the journals of an ancestor who visited there with Ponce de León. And in fine double siblings Inocente—both and Ramón in deep love with Ana—she discovers a method to make it happen. Ramón is married by her, and in 1844, only eighteen, she moves over the sea about the area to some distant sugar planting the siblings have learned. Ana encounters relentless illness, heat and seclusion, and the dangers of the countryside even while she relishes the process of working Hacienda los Gemelos.
