En diciembre llegaban las brisas

From Paris, Lina recreates the experiences of three women who lived in the 1960s in the conservative city of Barranquilla. It is a story of sensuality and violence, a tale of repression and unbridled passion, in which Dora, Catalina, and Beatriz enjoy parties at the Country Club and trips to Puerto Colombia, but are also victims of a deeply rooted patriarchy. Fragile, rebellious, filled with pleasure and pain, the three survive in a world that oscillates between the liberation of instinct and the protection of custom. A blend of personal memory and historical reality, with multiple voices that capture a complex female world, this masterful novel displays great precision and poetry, while transforming private anecdotes into a social fresco. *En diciembre llegaban las brisas* (In December the Breezes Arrived) not only combats the constraints of a traditional life, but ultimately connects the experiences of its protagonists with the condition of all humanity.
