Madeline Miller is a staple of our Local Lit Shelf, and her quote about this book, which takes as its subject five queer women carving out a space of their own in nature while living under the Uruguayan Dictatorship of the 1970s, was among the many factors prompting us to include Cantoras in this month's book club selection: "It was the type of good that when I finished I thought: I am going to read everything [De Robertis] writes forever."

--Linda

______________

In defiance of the brutal military government that took power in Uruguay in the 1970s, and under which homosexuality is a dangerous transgression, five women miraculously find one another--and, together, an isolated cape that they claim as their own.

Over the next thirty-five years, they travel back and forth from this secret sanctuary, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow or alone. Throughout it all, they will be tested repeatedly--by their families, lovers, society, and one another--as they fight to live authentic lives.
A groundbreaking, genre-defining work, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit.
