A spectacularly rich novel by best-selling author Angeles Mastretta spanning 50 years in the history of a nation, a family, and a love affair. Emilia Sauri, the protagonist, is born determined to look for her destiny facing the limitations imposed on women and the dangers of a love for two men. Mal de amores is a novel that captivates the reader with its clear, fast and masterful prose, a novel that refuses to give either its characters or readers easy solutions to complex problems.
