Description

A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF STORIES DEPICTING THE VARIED AND VIBRANT LIVES OF WOMEN WOMEN WITH BIG EYES is Mexican novelist Angeles Mastretta's most widely read work, now available for the first time in an English translation. Each of the stories in Women with Big Eyes reveals a different woman linked by a single thread: the uniting revelation that women share an unnamed force, whether it comes in the form of iron resolve, flaming passion, or love. Mastretta's women are vibrant, sly, wise, earthy, and full of life, with stories that mesmerize. From these pages, they gaze at you, each representing an aspect of what it means to be a woman with big eyes-able to see the world for what it is and to make an uncompromising life within it. Angeles Mastretta is a delightful storyteller, and these tales are shot through with sex and laughter.
