Description
The Invisible Mountain explores a century of dramatic change in South America through the lives of three generations of women. Born into a rural village, Pajarita seeks escape through love and performance, but finds herself trapped by her husband's darkness. Her daughter Eva navigates the tumultuous world of revolution, fleeing childhood abuse to find solace in Buenos Aires' glittering circles. As Salomé becomes embroiled in politics, her idealism is tested when she is captured and brutalised. The novel spans a broad sweep of history, from the rise of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro to the hills of Rio de Janeiro, where love, family, and hope continue to endure despite the turmoil. Through the intimate lives of the Fierelli family, The Invisible Mountain traverses a changing South America, revealing the complexities of women's experiences during this pivotal period. Through its richly drawn characters and nuanced portrayal of politics and passion, The Invisible Mountain offers a powerful exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
