Penelope Fitzgeralds husband is a struggling alcoholic, their literary journal is on the brink, and she is pregnant with their third child. When she receives a letter from two elderly sisters named Delaney, distant relations with a silver mine, who dangle the possibility of an inheritance, she recognizes it as a creative and practical lifeline.</p><p>Jessica Francis Kanes brilliantly imagined <em>Fonseca</em> fictionalizes Penelopes real and momentous trip to northern Mexico in pursuit of this legacy. She leaves her two-year-old, Tina, with relatives and sails for New York with her six-year-old, Valpy, in tow. From there, mother and son take a bus all the way to . . . Fonseca.</p><p>But when they arrive, nothing goes to plan. There are others vying for the Delaney money, and for three months, from Day of the Dead to Candlemas, Penelope must navigate a quixotic household and guide her impressionable son. More and more people frequent the house: an ambitious American couple, various local entrepreneurs and artists (including Edward Hopper and his wife, Jo), and finally a handsome stranger who claims he is a Delaney.</p><p>With heart, humor, and a deep understanding of her subject that has characterized the range of her work her whole career, Kane (whose work could have been written by Jane Austens great great-great-granddaughter <em>Oprah Daily</em>) has written much more than an homage: <em>Fonseca</em> is an enthralling world of its own as well as a stunning fictionalization of a season in Fitzgeralds life.</p>...7140902Fonseca269374https://www.gandhi.com.mx/fonseca-9780593298862/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7130782/image.jpg?v=638828863271000000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook2025Inglés
