Cantoras is a stunning lullaby to revolutionand each woman in this novel sings it with a deep ferocity.

Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Awardwinning authorFrom the highly acclaimed, awardwinning author of The Gods of Tango, a revolutionary new novel about five wildly different women who, in the midst of the Uruguayan dictatorship, find one another as lovers, friends, and ultimately, family.In 1977 Uruguay, a military government crushed political dissent with ruthless force. In this environment, where the everyday rights of people are under attack, homosexuality is a dangerous transgression to be punished. And yet Romina, Flaca, Anita 'La Venus,' Paz, and Malenafive cantoras, women who 'sing'somehow, miraculously, find one another. Together, they discover an isolated, nearly uninhabited cape, Cabo Polonio, which they claim as their secret sanctuary. Over the next thirtyfive years, their lives move back and forth between Cabo Polonio and Montevideo, the city they call home, as they return, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow, or alone. And throughout, again and again, the women will be testedby their families, lovers, society, and one anotheras they fight to live authentic lives.A genredefining novel and De Robertis's masterpiece, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit.
