“A comprehensive indictment of the conditions facing woman in that coastal Colombian city in the 1950s ... Exposing the city's sexual violence, misogyny, classism, and racism in sharp and unrelenting detail ... Each young woman’s story is told with elaborate attention ... Patience is required to discern the interlocking web of family and professional connections...and the detail...may be daunting to the casual reader ... Moreno’s dense and incrementally meandering prose recites a litany of suffering layered upon suffering.”
