In this spellbinding novel, Jose Raul Bernardo brings vividly to life the exotic and fascinating world of Cuba during the earlier part of this century.When Dolores, a beautiful girl who comes from a family of wealthy landowners, meets Maximiliano, the handsome butcher, she elopes with him, and her family disowns her for life.At once deeply moving and filled with humor, this is the story of their love for each other and of their quest for a better life for themselves and their children; a story set in a world of tropical heat and fierce pride where men are men, and women appear to be men's possessions.In that passionate world, family is sacred. And so is family honor. So what is the family to do when Gustavo, Dolores and Maximiliano's younger son, finds out that his sensual young wife has been possessed by another man and yet refuses to do the one thing he must to restore his - and the family's - honor: kill both his wife and her lover?
