Historical
A generational saga that mixes historical fiction with
the romance and intrigue of a Latin soap opera. When Malena Sevilla's tidy, carefully planned world
collapses following her father’s mysterious suicide, she
finds a letter—signed with an “A”—which reveals that her
mother is very much alive and living in San Isidro, a quaint
town tucked in the Andes Mountains. Intent on meeting her,
Malena arrives at Alameda Street and meets four sisters who
couldn’t be more different from one another, but who share
one thing in common: all of their names begin with an A. To avoid a scandal, Malena assumes another woman’s identity
and enters their home to discover the truth. Could her
mother be Amanda, the iconoclastic widow who opens the first
tango nightclub in a conservative town? Ana, the ideal
housewife with a less-than-ideal past? Abigail, the sickly
sister in love with a forbidden man? Or Alejandra, the
artistic introvert scarred by her cousin’s murder? But
living a lie will bring Malena additional problems, such as
falling for the wrong man and loving a family she may lose
when they learn of her deceit. Worse, her arrival threatens
to expose long-buried secrets and a truth that may wreck her
life forever. Set in 1960s Ecuador, The Sisters of Alameda Street
is a sweeping story of how one woman’s search for the truth
of her identity forces a family to confront their own past.
