"Until her early twenties, Gioconda Belli inhabited an upper-class cocoon: sheltered from the poverty in Managua in a world of country clubs and debutante balls; educated abroad; early marriage and motherhood. But in 1970, everything changed. Her growing dissatisfaction with domestic life, and a blossoming awareness of the social inequities in Nicaragua, led her to join the Sandinistas, then a burgeoning but still hidden organization. She would be involved with them over the next twenty years at the highest, and often most dangerous, levels. Her memoir is both a revelatory insider's account of the Revolution and a vivid, intensely felt story about coming of age under extraordinary circumstances. Belli writes with both striking lyricism and candor about her personal and political lives: about her family, her children, the men in her life; about her poetry; about the dichotomies between her birth-right and the life she chose for herself; about the failures and triumphs of the Revolution; about her current life, divided between California (with her American husband and their children) and Nicaragua; and about her sustained and sustaining passion for her country and its people."--Amazon.com.… (altro)
In questo libro, Gioconda Belli racconta la propria vita, intensa e appassionata. Per combattere la dittatura sostenuta dagli Stati Uniti, partecipa alla guerriglia del Fronte sandinista, affrontando rischi enormi e vivendo la perdita di tanti compagni e la tristezza dell'esilio. Ma Gioconda è anche, e soprattutto, una donna, assolutamente consapevole della propria identità femminile. Racconta il matrimonio di una ragazza di buona famiglia, finito a rotoli; gli amori travolgenti e difficili dentro la guerriglia, l'amore altrettanto appassionante e difficile con un gringo; le figlie dalle quali è a lungo dolorosamente separata, le drammatiche gravidanze, i sentimenti, le lacerazioni tra politica, passione, famiglia.

With each shot I fired my body shuddered, the impact reverberating through every last joint, leaving an unbearable ringing in my head, sharp and disturbing.

Somewhere within my soul she had her place; a love that was waiting to bloom years even before we actually found each other.
