“La clase de novela por la que uno se acuesta tarde para terminarla y acostado sigue pensando en ella”. —The San Francisco Chronicle En el primer día del siglo XX, un pequeño pueblo en lo más profundo del campo uruguayo se reúne para ver un milagro —la misteriosa reaparición de Pajarita, una niña que se había perdido. Años después, Pajarita comenzará una estirpe ferozmente independiente, tres generaciones de mujeres que lucharán por crearse una vida en su querida Uruguay, una patria que nutre sus almas a la vez que pone a prueba sus espíritus: su hija Eva, una frágil pero ferozmente obcecada belleza decidida a ser poeta, se sobrepondrá a una desgarradora traición para seguir un camino poco convencional. Y la hija de Eva, Salomé, despertará tanto a la sensualidad como al compromiso político en medio de los turbulentos años sesenta. La montaña invisible es una mordaz celebración del poder del amor familiar, de la voluntad de supervivencia en las circunstancias más desesperadas y, sobre todo, del intenso vínculo entre madres e hijas.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The sweep of a century, the hand of history, three women whose lives will never be the same again.As the twentieth century dawns, so begins one of the most dramatic periods in the history of South America. Women are emancipated, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro free Cuba, the Perons take power in Argentina, and three generations of Firielli women are to live, love, and fight for their independence and freedom.Pajarita is the founder of the dynasty, born into a rural village and constantly chafing against its narrow confines. A love-match with a circus performer offers her escape, but she is trapped in a cage of another sort when her husband becomes a monster. Her spirited daughter, Eva, enters a world shaken by revolution. Fleeing childhood abuse, and alienated from her mother, she heads to Buenos Aires, but the glittering circles she moves in cannot erase the memories of her past. Her daughter, Salomé, driven by political passion becomes a guerrilla fighter, but her idealism turns to tragedy when she is captured, and brutalised.From bohemian Buenos Aires to the hills of Rio de Janeiro; from tangos to demonstrations; from the broad sweep of history to the intimate lives of the Fierelli family, THE INVISIBLE MOUNTAIN traverses a changing South America, in which some things – love, family, hope – continue forever.

Perla Correa grew up a privileged only child in Buenos Aires, with a cold, polished mother and a straitlaced naval officer father, whose profession she learned early on not to disclose in a country still reeling from the abuses perpetrated by the deposed military dictatorship. Perla understands that her parents were on the wrong side of the conflict, but her love for her papá is unconditional. But when Perla is startled by an uninvited visitor, she begins a journey that will force her to confront the unease she has suppressed all her life, and to make a wrenching decision about who she is, and who she will become.

February 1913: seventeen-year-old Leda, clutching a suitcase and her father’s cherished violin, leaves her small Italian village for a new home (and husband) halfway across the world in Argentina. Upon her arrival in Buenos Aires, Leda is shocked to find that her bridegroom has been killed. Unable to fathom the idea of returning home, she remains in this unfamiliar city, living in a commune, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. She finally acts on a passion she has kept secret for years: mastering the violin. Leda is seduced by the music that underscores life in the city: tango, born from lower-class immigrant voices, now the illicit, scandalous dance of brothels and cabarets. Leda knows, however, that she can never play in public as a woman, so she cuts off her hair, binds her breasts, and, as a young man, joins a troupe of musicians bent on bringing tango into the salons of high society. As time progresses, the lines between Leda and her disguise will begin to blur, and feelings that she has long kept suppressed will reveal themselves, jeopardizing not only her music career but her life itself. With evocative scenery, prose suffused with the rhythms of the tango, and a deep, resonant core, De Robertis delivers her most accomplished novel yet.This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Obwohl Perla ahnt, dass über der Vergangenheit ihrer Eltern ein dunkler Schatten liegt, ist ihre Liebe zu ihnen dennoch bedingungslos. Ihre Welt bricht auseinander, als eines Tages ein ungebetener Besucher vor der Tür steht. Nichts wird mehr sein wie zuvor, denn nun beginnt für sie eine Reise, die sie zwingt, sich ihrer eigenen Geschichte zu stellen.Mit ihrem bewegenden Roman beleuchtet Carolina De Robertis einen der dunkelsten Momente in der Geschichte Argentiniens.
