The Stories Of Eva Luna

Commanded by her lover to tell him a story he has never heard before, Eva Luna spins a skein that weaves in and out of the colour and passion of the harsh, sun-impacted landscapes of South America. Her stories encompass guerrillas and fortune-tellers, tyrants and beauties, whores and peasants; her themes tangle with politics and poverty, passion, pain and tragedy. And, throughout, the simple longing of the human heart for happiness is tempered by hope.
