Paperback. Me recuerda a Anais Nin. Es muy importante que leamos novelas como esta, centradas en el deseo y la sexualidad de la mujer. -Luna MiguelSi no hubiera reivindicado su derecho al placer habria vivido dichosa o al menos tranquila hasta su muerte. Y, sin embargo, aun ahora consideraba intolerable la insatisfaccion, ese estado de letargo sexual al cual la condenaba el matrimonio con Luis. La libertad tenia un precio y ella lo estaba pagando, duramente, de la peor manera que habria imaginado, pero despues las puertas del mundo se le abririan de par en par. El tiempo de las amazonas recorre tres decadas de la vida de tres primas Gaby, Virginia e Isabel que llegan a vivir a Paris en los anos setenta. Su incesante exploracion del deseo las llevara a tomar decisiones que tendran un alto costo para sus vidas. Sus parejas, sus amantes y sus amigos forman parte de un universo narrativo que se mueve alrededor de las preocupaciones centrales de la obra de la autora: la madurez, el placer sexual, la amistad y la enfermedad. Veinticinco anos despues de su muerte, Marvel Moreno vuelve a sorprendernos con esta, su segunda y ultima novela, una historia de mujeres que se adelantaron a su propio tiempo y que rompieron las estructuras para arriesgarlo todo por la libertad.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONShe reminds me of Anais Nin. Its important that we read novels like this, centered in desire and womens sexuality. Luna Miguel If she hadnt vindicated her right to feel pleasure, she would have lived blissfully, or at least at peace until her death. And, yet, even now she considered dissatisfaction intolerable, that state of sexual lethargy she was condemned to endure in her marriage to Luis. Freedom had a price, and she was paying it, harshly, in the worst way she could have possibly imagined. But afterwards, the doors to the world would be wide open for her. The time of the Amazon runs along three decades in the life of three cousins Gaby, Virginia, and Isabel living in Paris in the sixties. Their relentless exploration of desire will lead to decisions that will exact a heavy toll on their lives. Their partners, their lovers, and their friends make up a narrative universe that revolves around the main preoccupations in the authors work: maturity, sexual pleasure, friendship, and sickness. Twenty-five years after her death, Marvel Moreno amazes us again with this, her second a final novel, a story about women ahead of their own time, who broke away from tradition in order to risk everything in the name of freedom.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“She reminds me of Anaïs Nin. It’s important that we read novels like this, centered in desire and women’s sexuality.” —Luna Miguel
“If she hadn’t vindicated her right to feel pleasure, she would have lived blissfully, or at least at peace until her death. And, yet, even now she considered dissatisfaction intolerable, that state of sexual lethargy she was condemned to endure in her marriage to Luis. Freedom had a price, and she was paying it, harshly, in the worst way she could have possibly imagined. But afterwards, the doors to the world would be wide open for her.”
The time of the Amazon runs along three decades in the life of three cousins —Gaby, Virginia, and Isabel— living in Paris in the sixties. Their relentless exploration of desire will lead to decisions that will exact a heavy toll on their lives. Their partners, their lovers, and their friends make up a narrative universe that revolves around the main preoccupations in the author’s work: maturity, sexual pleasure, friendship, and sickness.
Twenty-five years after her death, Marvel Moreno amazes us again with this, her second a final novel, a story about women ahead of their own time, who broke away from tradition in order to risk everything in the name of freedom.
