"A la edad de siete años, la pequeña Sofía se pierde entre la gente en medio de una vehemente discusión de sus padres y del desplazamiento atropellado de los gitanos. Aunque el destino le brinda otros padres entrañables y un mundo nuevo, también la enfrenta a muchas situaciones dolorosas y a la prepotencia patriarcal de René, un marido que la encierra y la priva de su libertad. Protegida por seres dotados de una sabiduría milenaria, la sangre y la rebeldía gitanas de Sofía se imponen a través de rituales y ceremonias antiguas, que la conducen hacia su verdadero origen y a dar, por fin, con el amor de su vida. Sófa de los presagios nos permite adentrarnos en el mundo mágico de una de las grandes narradoras de nuestro tiempo. Como ya hiciera en La mujer habitada, Gioconda Belli dibuja un personaje femenino fascinante, guiado por su instinto natural, que se perfila como el epicentro de un universo literario cargado de sensualidad, erotismo y feminidad"--Page 4 of cover.
At the age of seven, little Sofia gets lost during a violent argument between her parents and is ousted from the gypsies. Even though destiny affords her other caring parents and a new start, she confronts many painful situations, including Rene, the overbearing patriarch, who confines her and takes away her freedom. Protected by centuries of wisdom, Sofia's gypsy blood and rebelliousness prevail through rituals and ancient ceremonies, which transport her back to her true origins and, finally, unite her with the love of her life. Sofia of the Omens invites us to enter into a magical world, created by one of the most important authors of our time. As in The Inhabited Woman, Gioconda Belli develops a fascinating female character, guided by her natural instincts, who is defined as the epicenter of a literary universe brimming with sensuality, eroticism and femininity.
