Narrative In Favor Of Books The Inhabited Woman
Lavinia is The Inhabited Woman: accomplished, independent, and fiercely modern. She is sheltered and self-involved, until the spirit of an Indian woman warrior enters her being, then she dares to join a revolutionary movement against a violent dictator and—through the power of love—finds the courage to act.

I wish I weren't too lazy to read this book in the original Spanish, because I think some of its power got lost in translation. It's also a bit dated, but I kind of loved that. It's set in the late 70s and early 80s in some unnamed Central American country but the author is Nicaraguan and it seems largely inspired by her involvement with the Sandinista movement. It was really compelling and readable and very evocative of a disco-dancing, ideology-embracing moment in tine. There's a parallelNo.
A great book about women, from one of the best contemporary writers in spanish language
The book is certainly well written and the story is consistent. It is surely a enjoyable reading. Anyway I didn't love the character of Lavinia for most of the book. I found her quite immature and somehow childish, and not because of her inner struggles (which I think are cohrent with the situation she is) but more because of her behavior. I started liking her only at the end. I think that after reading The country beneath my skin, of which I really loved every single page, I felt some parts of
No.
I don't know if it is as good in English. I read it in Spanish and loved the magical realism.
I have read the book in 1983 during a holiday trip to Greece. La mujer habitada is a political and erotic book about a woman in the resistance in the Nicaragua of dictator Somoza. Good roman about the intimate feelings and friendships of a woman-soldier motivated freedom-fighter.Gioconda BelliBewohnte FrauLa donna abitataI have read it again in 1989 The Inhabited Woman
