Interpretation As Books The Inhabited Woman

Lavinia is The Inhabited Woman: accomplished, independent, and fiercely modern. She is sheltered and self-involved, until the spirit of an Indian woman warrior enters her being, then she dares to join a revolutionary movement against a violent dictator and—through the power of love—finds the courage to act.

Commentary About Books The Inhabited Woman

Great premise for a novel, but I am nonplussed by the execution. "The Inhabited Woman" is far too preachy--tells too much but doesn't show enough. It technically passed my 50 page test, as I am almost to p. 100, but I have not been successfully transported to Belli's world, so I am pretty sure I won't finish this one. It could be an issue of translation. Who knows? This book is just not the magic realist magic carpet ride I had expected. Disappointing.

This magical-realist novel, said to be based upon Belli's own experiences as a Sandanista, follows the parallel narratives of Lavinia, a modern-day Nicaraguan architect who becomes involved in the struggle to overthrow her country's dictator; and Itza, a 16th-century Nahuatl warrior-woman fighting the Spanish conquistadors. History is alive in more than a metaphorical sense in The Inhabited Woman, as the spirit of Itza, trapped in an orange tree, is literally consumed by Lavinia. When the time

Interesting setting, dramatic. Interplay between the inhabited woman and the history that inhabits her swings a little too heavily modern at the expense of the historical. Worth a read.



both a great literary accomplishment and one of the best inside views of how a person of privileged background becomes a revolutionary, all told with a keen feminist perspective

I have read the book in 1983 during a holiday trip to Greece. La mujer habitada is a political and erotic book about a woman in the resistance in the Nicaragua of dictator Somoza. Good roman about the intimate feelings and friendships of a woman-soldier motivated freedom-fighter.Gioconda BelliBewohnte FrauLa donna abitataI have read it again in 1989 The Inhabited Woman

A great book about women, from one of the best contemporary writers in spanish language
