The dark bride

a novel

By Restrepo, Laura & Lytle, Stephen A.

Publishers Summary:
"Drawn like an exotic moth to work beneath one of the colored lights of La Catunga, the local house of prostitution, Sayonara is enigmatic and arrogant beyond her years. Her Indian origins a puzzle, she is transformed by her sage madam, the surprisingly maternal Todos los Santos, into the queen of her squalid Colombian barrio. Each month, Sayonara charms the oil workers of the Tropical Oil Company, who have journeyed down from the mountains searching for some earthly bliss. But it is not just oil workers who are captivated by Sayonara. She is also the flame that draws an unpredictable mix of haunting characters into the tragicomic obsession that is her life - from Sacramento, the childhood playmate who is determined to rescue Sayonara from her unorthodox life, to the stranger Payanes, who is her one true love and carries secrets of his own. Sayonara is the Dark Bride who subtly reveals a personal and political universe forever marked by her passing."--BOOK JACKET.
