New York. 1995. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374173117. 407 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Michael Ian Kaye. Jacket photo by Melissa Hayden. keywords: Puerto Rico Latin America Women Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Novelist, short-story master, poet, and critic, Rosario Ferre is Puerto Rico's preeminent literary figure, and her new novel is destined to establish her a s a writer of international renown. THE HOUSE ON THE LAGOON is the story of Quintin Mendizabal and his wife, Isabel Monfort, Isabel, a fledgling novelist, is writing a multigenerational novel about the history of their families, of Spanish and Corsican origins, and their arrival in Puerto Rico. Her ambition is great, but her sense of history comically weak. When Quintin, who happens to be a historian, finds her manuscript, he begins to write alternate chapters expressing his own point of view. Isabel colorfully weaves a tapestry of life among the ruling classes of Puerto Rico, with their passionate debates about independence, statehood, racism; their links to Spain and Europe; and their ambivalence toward the United States. But as she draws a self-portrait of her marriage as well, it becomes clear that her relationship with her husband is far from picture-perfect. Quintin becomes incensed at Isabel's version of events, at her audacity in writing a book, and an autobiographical one at that. And Isabel, in her struggle to forge a new identity and free herself from her coercive marriage and the constraints of the culture, precipitates a conflagration that threatens to consume the entire family. A shattering story of love and death, privilege and servitude, THE HOUSE ON THE LAGOON is a brilliant evocation of Puerto Rico in the twentieth century. inventory #21572.
