Synopsis
Laudada como una obra centra de la literatura latinoamericana, esta novela asombrosa, de una de las más prominentes mujeres de letras de Puerto Rico, es a la vez una rebosante saga multigeneracional y una historia mágica de la isla. En una hermosa mansión con vista a la laguna de Alamares, Isabel Montfort está escribiendo la crónica de su familia. Es un relato de aventura e intriga, de inmigrantes españoles y corsos, de esclavos africanos, de política sexual y de luchas políticas, de maridos autoritarios y esposas que ingeniosamente subvierten esa autoridad.
Pero Quintín Mendizábal, el marido de Isabel, ha descubierto su manuscrito y se propone contrarrestarlo con su propia versión de los hechos. Del combate entre sus historias conyugales Rosario Ferré crea una poderosa y astutamente cómica meditación sobre la manera en que construimos la verdad—la de nuestra familia, la de nuestros países y la de nuestras propias vidas. La casa de la laguna es una novela llena de encanto e invención, poblada por personajes de una gran vitalidad.

About the Author
Rosario Ferré nació en 1938 en Ponce, una ciudad en las costa sur de Puerto Rico. Se graduó en el año 1960 de Manjattanville College con un título en literature inglesa. Luego obtuvo una maestría en literature española y latinoamericana en la Universidad de Puerto Rico, y años mas tarde, recibó su doctorado de la Universidad de Maryland.
Comenzó a escribir en la década de los años setenta como redactora y editora de la revista literaria Zona: Carga y Descarga, en la cual se publicaban trabajos de jóvenes escritores puertorriqueños. Colaboradora asidua de los rotativos El Nueva Día y el San Juan Star, Rosario Ferré ha explorado todos los géneros literarios al publicar relatos, poesía, ensayos, biografías y cuatro novelas. Fue galardonada con el premio Liberaturpries del 1992 en Francfort del main (Alemania), y la versión de lengua inglesa de su novela La casa de la laguna quedó como finalista del premio literario estadounidese National Book Award.
Rosario Ferré es reconocida hoy como una de las escritoras más importantes de Puerto Rico.
