Montevideo, Uruguay, 1966: Salomé is fifteen years old. She has watched the nation become increasingly repressive, as well as admired the Cuban revolution from afar. Her best friend, Leona, has just led her to a clandestine meeting…
Step into a world like none other: a world of women, ancient tradition and culture that is underlined by the will to survive. This is the world of The Invisible Mountain.
Written by Uruguayan-American author Carolina De Robertis, the story starts on the first day of the millennium in a small town where the local people have gathered to watch a miracle: the reappearance of a lost infant, Pajarita. The tale continues through Pajarita’s lineage, her daughter Eva and her granddaughter Salomé. From the growing city of Montevideo, to Perón’s glittering Buenos Aires to the rustic hills of Rio de Janeiro, The Invisible Mountain is a rich illustration of Latino and Spanish language and literature.
