When Maria Vazquez returns to Nicaragua for her beloved
grandfather's funeral, she brings with her a mysterious
package from her grandmother's past-and a secret of her own.
And she also carries the burden of her tense relationship
with her mother Ninexin, once a storied revolutionary, now a
tireless government employee. Between Maria and Ninexin lies
a chasm created by the death of Maria's father, who was
killed during the revolution when Maria was an infant,
leaving her to be raised by her grandmother Isabela as
Ninexin worked to build the new Nicaragua. As Ninexin tries
to reach her daughter, and Maria wrestles with her
expectations for her romance with an older man, Isabela, the
mourning widow, is lost in memories of attending boarding
school in 1950's New Orleans, where she loved and lost
almost sixty years ago. When the three women come together
to bid farewell to the man who anchored their family, they
are forced to confront their complicated, passionate
relationships with each other and with their country-and to
reveal the secrets that each of them have worked to conceal. Lushly evocative of Nicaragua, its tumultuous history, and
vibrant present, Eleni N. Gage's The Ladies of Managua
brings you into the lives of three strong and magnetic
women, as they uncover the ramifications of the choices they
made in their pasts and begin to understand the ways in
which love can shape their futures.
