Abstract
For years, the best that young girls from the backwater village of Alta Gracia could hope for was a position in the Big House, home of the immensely powerful and politically influential Goyena family. so, when Señorita Delia Lugghi - enigmatic teacher and devout Peronist - arrives from Buenos Aires to found a state school in the village, the future of Milagros Riquelme suddenly seems to be full of possibilities. But change rarely does come easily. inspired by true events, this novel charts a life of tragedy, love, and missed opportunities, as Milagros goes from childhood to old age, all the while being forced to navigate the violent landscape of Argentina in the mid-twentieth century.
