Guadalupe Magdalena Molina Vásquez -- wife, scoundrel, courtesan, mother -- is full of contradictions: she believes in love but is suspicious of men; she rejects religion but admires the Virgin Mary; she respects tradition while breaking all the rules. Here, in the Golden Zone of Teatán, Mexico, Magda tells her extraordinary life story -- from a poor Mexican barrio to American affluence, from wide-eyed childhood to worldly courtesan life, from full-blooded youth to oncoming blindness -- and bewitchingly imparts the hard-earned wisdom she has gained through the years.

Even with the language barrier, I appreciated the struggles of Magda, growing up in a poor Mexican barrio and questioning the cultural roles of women, men, religion, love, sex, and family. Magda's life decisions reflect her struggles with these roles as she both challenges and embraces them. The author's power of description allowed me to experience the heat of the Mexican sun and the pain of pilrims who walked on their knees over rough cobblestones to the shrine of the baby Jesus.
Don't let three stars stop you from trying this novel.
