Customer Reviews

Ramirez gets under the skin of his characters.

Former Vice-president of Nicaragua Sergio Ramirez is one of the best Latin American writers in these current times. Here he writes about a variety of los nicaraguenses whose lives, or that of their relatives, have crossed paths over the years from 1930 to the early 1960's and their heart-wrenching experiences as the Somoza dy-nasty ruled Nicaragua with an iron fist (or two). It is humorous, sad, touching, disturbing and full of insight for anyone wishing a clearer picture and fuller understanding of the social, economic and political circumstances that led to the country's revolution in 1979. A must read!
