when a band of communist guerrillas invades the mountain village of Mariquita
and forcibly recruits all of the men to fight for their cause, the women are left
behind to live in a world they had never imagined. Virtual widows, they must overcome cen-
turies of tradition and learn to rely on themselves and one another to survive. Coping with
grief and uncertainty, they eventually create a peaceful new community, one that ironically
promotes the socialist values for which the guerrillas claim to fight.
But this new world is challenged when, years later, four men return, forcing the
women to negotiate between past and present; custom and independence. In the vein of Isabel
Allende, Tales From the Town of Widows is wrought with emotion and elegance. Its bril-
liantly etched characters and beautiful prose herald the arrival of a luminous new literary talent.
