Born in 1905 Mexico, Laura Dfaz witnesses the Revolution while becoming a politically committed artist, wife, mother, and lover of great men before seeing those she loves fall to the dark forces of corrupt politics.
Review:
"A century's worth of Mexican culture and politics is observed through the prism of the life of the eponymous protagonist of this big novel, the most lucid and satisfying fiction of Fuentes's 40-year career....A replete and readable portrayal of a fascinating character, and an all-round terrific read."
Kirkus, 09/01/2000
Review:"The attempt at an epic limps....It is fictionally impaired. Instead of characters configuring ideas, it is the ideas that configure the characters. With a few exceptions, the people in LAURA DIAZ are generics assigned to run history's errands or represent social or cultural archetypes. None runs harder or looms more vacantly archetypal than Laura herself."
Richard Eder, New York Times Book Review, 11/12/2000

Book Description: Mariner Books, United States, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 229 x 152 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. A radiant family saga set in a century of Mexican history, by one of the world's greatest writers. Carlos Fuentes's hope-filled new novel sees the twentieth century through the eyes of Laura D'az, a woman who becomes as much a part of our history as of the Mexican history she observes and helps to create. Born in 1898, this extraordinary woman grows into a wife and mother, becomes the lover of great men, and, before her death in 1972, is celebrated as a politically committed artist. A complicated and alluring heroine, she lives a happy life despite the tragedies and losses she experiences, for she has borne witness to great changes in her country's life, and she has loved and understood with unflinching honesty. In his most important novel in decades, Carlos Fuentes has created a world filled with brilliantly colored scenes and heartbreaking dramas. The result is a novel of subtle, penetrating insight and immense power.
