Critique Epithetical Books The Inhabited Woman

Beautiful imagery, gorgeous language, and a powerful story. A tale of justice, violence, totalitarianism, passion, fear, and history, all mingled together to create this wondrous piece of literature. From the memories and thoughts of Lavinia to the spirit and power of Itza, all of the senses were satisfied in my imagination, and certainly all the emotions gripped my heart. I am being very vague in this review because this is one of those books that cannot be given justice through words. You just

A great book about women, from one of the best contemporary writers in spanish language

The book is certainly well written and the story is consistent. It is surely a enjoyable reading. Anyway I didn't love the character of Lavinia for most of the book. I found her quite immature and somehow childish, and not because of her inner struggles (which I think are cohrent with the situation she is) but more because of her behavior. I started liking her only at the end. I think that after reading The country beneath my skin, of which I really loved every single page, I felt some parts of

C 1988 NicaraguaThe back cover says the author is a representative of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua [i.e. in parliament?].This sort of helps explain why the book seems like an apologia, a sort of cheerleading for the/a revolutionary movement.It is very well done, in parts, showing the rev. movement from a very personal perspective of an educated, talented young woman who is a member of the elite. We see [or rather hear, in sometimes preachy monologues] her thinking changing on Women, the Lower

The best book I have read this year (so far). This book was perfect. Gioconda Belli wove together so many themes into this book flawlessly. When I told people I was reading a book about a dead indigenous (Nahuatl?) woman who possesses an orange tree when its roots penetrated her dead body and then sort of inhabits a woman's body when she drinks her orange juice they think its weird. But the first paragraphs describing the possession of the orange tree by the deceased Itza are some of the most

I didn't love this book until the end, and then it wasn't because of anything in particular that happened in it, but the way it felt after the end, with the whole story and world that was created in my mind at once.

Interesting setting, dramatic. Interplay between the inhabited woman and the history that inhabits her swings a little too heavily modern at the expense of the historical. Worth a read.
