The Sanctuary for Heartbroken Women

NOVEL. PLANETA, 1997. NEW EDITION ALFAGUARA, 2013. 392 PAGES.

Floreana, a historian even younger and more attractive than she wants to believe, arrives at a very particular shelter on the island of Chiloé. There, amidst the landscapes of the deep south, diverse women come to heal the wounds of a common pain: the lack of love for men. Ambivalent, repressed in sex, hesitant in loving commitment, men are afraid of the autonomy that women have gained. Meanwhile, dissatisfaction grows in them, the "feminine illness" of our time.
