Riassunto

When artist Diego Clemente moves from Seville to the YucatánPeninsula to help complete the first guide to the region’s birds, he arriveson the eve of the Mexican Revolution. It is a place where the precarious and thebeautiful balance each other, where opulence is built on the backs of slaves andthe social order is on the brink of collapse. Here he meets Sofia, a fellowartist and a woman who longs to be as free as the birds she also loves.

Béa Gonzalez creates a lush and richly layered novel thatevokes the passing down, from grandmother to mother to daughter, of aspectacular tale of passion and mystery. The Mapmaker’s Opera isa mesmerizing, ebullient story to be shared among friends.
