The Ladies of Managua

By Eleni N. Gage

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Pages: 400

"Revolutionaries make bad husbands," Maria’s abuela tells her. But what kind of mothers do they make? It's a question that hounds three generations of Vasquez women, whose globe-spanning stories collide after their patriarch's death. Reunited in Nicaragua, they confront the tumultuous history of their country and their family in this vibrant story about radical acts of womanhood.
