Publisher's summary

A través de la vida íntima de una mujer y sus pasiones, esta novela narra una saga familiar entremezclada con la historia cultural y política de un país convulso donde todo parece estar gestándose simultáneamente.

Los años con Laura Díaz está basada en conversaciones sostenidas con sus dos abuelas, y comprende un lapso de 100 años, desde 1868 a 1968.

El clamor del tumulto que quiere cambiar el destino de México converge con la ruta colorida de un par de grandes de la pintura universal: Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera.

La familia que formará Cósima en Veracruz, casada con Felipe, cuya madre era francesa, estará formada también por otras tres mujeres: Hilda, Virginia y Leticia, la madre de Laura. La historia de la protagonista es narrada al tiempo que la historia del país. La intención del autor es recuperar la parte femenina que ha quedado diluida en la historia de un país fundamentalmente masculino, donde la herencia azteca, árabe y española la ha marginado del acontecer histórico.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Too long for what it was 

Liked: the characters are very real, fallible, inconsistent, human. If I figured out the main message of the book, then I liked it, but I’m not really sure I did.
Disliked: sometimes I didn’t like the characters, there was too much political discussion that at the same time lacked depth or a connection to the reader, and it lost my interest many times. I didn’t ever feel like I really cared what happened to the main character.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
