A mind engaging novel depicting the life of Soledad and her awakening

Ana Clavel's Desire And Its Shadow is a mind engaging novel depicting the life of Soledad and her awakening. As strange as it may appear, Soledad's wishes always seem to come true, and with the wish of disappearing, she finds herself in the center of Mexico City without a soul around her. Desire And Its Shadow encompasses a world of Aztec history, unexpected despondency, the depths of the city's most impoverished inhabitants, and an urban underworld in which the most insightful are the blind. A deftly authored blend of sexual discovery, vividly depicted story line, and an understanding of a Mexico City underworld battlefront, Desire And Its Shadow is very highly recommended for all general fiction readers.
