With each day, their lives become further entangled, resulting in the unexpected--the clash of histories and the pull of revenge and desire. Cristina Garc a's magnificent orchestration of politics, the intimacies of daily life, and the frailty of human nature unfolds in a moving, ambitious, often comic, and unforgettable tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439181751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Cristina Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650947674268,"sku":"9781439181751","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_46f6b478-fbd3-408f-a1b1-4651ed648d67.jpg?v=1603876467","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-lady-matadors-hotel-9781439181751","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
