One day two women gather to tell stories. As the stories take life, the two women become their characters. A day and night of telling builds into a crescendo of unimaginable truth where the boundaries between story, fable, and myth evaporate like breath and words. Personal memories and nighttime dreams are woven into romances and exotic yarns from Casablanca to Catalunya. Plumbing the depths of human sentiment and existence, the confidantes lead us into veiled pathways rarely traveled. Angelina Muñiz-Huberman's writing is lyrical and alluring, and Andrea Labinger's translation preserves the magic.
