(“A wonderfully free and original talent”—Harold Pinter) and
central figure in the Sandinista Revolution.
Until her early twenties, Gioconda Belli inhabited an upper-class
cocoon: sheltered from the poverty in Managua in a world of country
clubs and debutante balls; educated abroad; early marriage and
motherhood. But in 1970, everything changed. Her growing
dissatisfaction with domestic life, and a blossoming awareness of
the social inequities in Nicaragua, led her to join the
Sandinistas, then a burgeoning but still hidden organization. She
would be involved with them over the next twenty years at the
highest, and often most dangerous, levels.
Her memoir is both a revelatory insider’s account of the Revolution
and a vivid, intensely felt story about coming of age under
extraordinary circumstances. Belli writes with both striking
lyricism and candor about her personal and political lives: about
her family, her children, the men in her life; about her poetry;
about the dichotomies between her birth-right and the life she
chose for herself; about the failures and triumphs of the
Revolution; about her current life, divided between California
(with her American husband and their children) and Nicaragua; and
about her sustained and sustaining passion for her country and its
people.
