Bolero

By Louise Hinton, Suzanne Grenier, Assar Santana

Bolero is a story of love and fascination for the mother, an enriching description of bonds between women. Tari's mother, known to the reader only as la magnifica, takes her on a trip to her mother's native village where traditional African spirituality is practiced, a village of magic and mystery. In her grandmother's home, Tari discovers herown past locked in a wooden-leather trunk of photos and hair locks. Meeting Rosaura, a young woman full of imagination about life in the town where supposedly nothing happens, Tari begins to explore her own sexuality. Written in a firm, steady, lyrical prose, Bolero is a story about solitude, tenderness, and passion. Bolero is an eternal dance, a metaphor for the rarely explored sensual love for the mother.
