Hi all, busy enjoying the book, The News from Paraguay. I've attached a link (click on the Post Title above) to the review site that has some great questions to look at.
Here is one of the questions.
2. Even as a mistress, Ella is a powerful and commanding presence in Paraguay's domestic and military affairs. Where does she figure in the pantheon of "the women behind the men?" (Jacqueline Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Eva Peron.) Are there common qualities that seem to exist in them? If so, what are they? Why are women of powerful men so fascinating? In what ways is she more powerful than Franco?
Very powerful inferences. When are we meeting mujeres? The 17th?
Lucky Barbara, Villasenor!
Abrazos a todos,
Joanna

Victor Villasenor at Barnes & Noble today
Grandma Regenie, Ruanyan and I went to Coronado Center today to hear Victor Villasenor talk about the books he's written, especially his most recent book, Crazy Loco Love. He was awesome! You guys know how much I love Rain of Gold and he talked alot about writing that book, his ancestors, and his philosophies and epiphanies. What a great guy. He personally invited me to his ranch near San Diego in November. They have a huge global celebration of peace and harmony the weekend before Thanksgiving. Visit his website to read more about this great author. http://www.victorvillasenor.com/
