Here is an epic of history, riven with themes of oppression and freedom, rivalry, hatred, shame, revolution and reconciliation. Through the intimate confessions of one family's three-hundred year story, Ana Torres presents us with an extraordinary, revisionist history of the land and people of Venezuela.
A journal of the tragic clash of classes, of the interface between humanity and geography, 'Dona Ines versus Oblivion' depicts the maturing of Venezuela as a work of fiction, conveyed through the lives of powerful characters, in a flowing prose accented with the exotic. It is a story - and a voice - that will not be forgotten.
