The Feast of the Goat
Urania Cabral returns to the island she vowed never to revisit, confronting a life marked by emptiness, fear since age fourteen, and an absence of love. The novel follows her visit to her father in Santo Domingo while simultaneously transporting readers back to 1961, when the capital was still called Ciudad Trujillo. There, a man who does not sweat tyrannizes three million people, unaware that a Machiavellian transition to democracy is unfolding.
