Desire and Its Shadow

0.0

Soledad awakes to find herself invisible, standing in the middle of Mexico City. Is she really invisible, or have others just stopped seeing her? Prisoner of her passions--to change identity, to be the object of someone's desire, to disappear--Soledad always ends up with her wishes coming true, but along with their dark, unforeseen side. This novel describes the undercurrents of the mysterious, often cruel streets of downtown Mexico City, where the blind can see, ghosts talk to those who will listen, and shadows both ancient and modern meld together to create this initiation into sex, love and madness.
