Some people make bowing a daily habit: resigned to crawling, they turn humiliation into the measure of their rise, grow well fed and elegantly dressed, and become the powerful of tomorrow. This novel follows those who stand up to them and refuse to give in. Readers have found in it a clash with hypocrisy and falseness, at times in wonderfully parodic scenes, tenderness in the roughest hands, and love that is often not where it seems to be. At its heart is little Ana, who knows from early childhood what matters in life and senses that closeness comes not from blood but from invisible energies; born to a beautiful mother, she chooses another, far from any ideal of beauty but with a giant heart.
