Laura Restrepo, una de las autoras m�s importantes de la literatura latinoamericana, ha sabido construir una sensual mezcla de realismo y de imaginaci�n narrativa que ha convertido sus libros en bestsellers internacionales. Su �ltimo libro, La Novia Oscura, es una divertida y conmovedora historia de amor.

A trav� de una serie de entrevistas, la reportera que protagoniza esta novela, da vida a un singular grupo de personajes: cazadores de fortuna, jefes guerrilleros, obreros de refiner�a, y prostitutas. Junto con el narrador, la reportera intenta descifrar la misteriosa e impulsiva vida de Sayonara, el personaje principal de La Novia Oscura. Tal una ex�tica mariposa, enigm�tica y arrogante, Sayonara trabaja bajo las luces de La Catunga, el burdel del pueblo. Cada mes, Sayonara embruja a los trabajadores de la Tropical Oil Company que bajan de las monta�as en busca de un poco de dicha terrenal. Pero estos no son los �nicos en sucumbir a los encantos de Sayonara....Su belleza atrae como una llama a una singular mezcla de personajes que van desde Sacramento, su amigo de infancia, decidido a rescatarla del pecado, hasta el misterioso Payan�s, su verdadero amor....Sayonara es la novia oscura, y su historia revela un universo personal y pol�tico que quedar� para siempre marcado por su paso.
