STELLA DUPUIS | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

From Adolfina's grandmothers, one black, the other Amerindian, comes the message: Look beyond appearances, beyond the material world of the West. With the memory of distant races charged with magic and wisdom running through her veins, Adolfina Olleres defies all the conventions of her time and confronts the entrenched racial prejudice of Cuba in the fifties. She travels throughout Asia, interweaving her physical and spiritual experiences into a deepened Tibetan wisdom that resonates astonishingly with her very distinct childhood in Cuba. On her pilgrimage and her sensual return to Cuba, ancient dance and the echo of sacred black drums beat in Adolfina's blood. Sex, primordial relationships, maternal love . . . and at the core, a family of women with great solidarity and the unshakable friendship between sisters and friends!
