By the Light of My Father’s Smile

Alice Walker

‘All your life you have the necessary illusion that you know all there is to know about heartbreak. I hate to be the one to tell you about the heartbreak you will experience after you die…’ A family goes to the remote sierras of Mexico - the writer-to-be Susannah, her sister Magdalena, their father and mother. There, amid indigenous people called the Mundo, they begin an encounter that will change them more than they ever could have dreamed. This is a deeply sensual novel that explores the richness of female sexuality as a celebration of life, affirming the belief ‘that it is the triumphant heart, not the conquered heart, that forgives. And that love is both timeless and beyond’.
