DESCRIPTION - The two stories of this terrifying and beautiful novel converge on a single charged point in the lives of a Cuban mother and son. We first meet Old Rosa in the blazing ruins of her farmhouse, weeping tears that seem to have no beginning or end. As the fire spreads, her life passes before her, and we see her as a young woman, shy but firm in her chastity, then as a bride, mother, and mistress of her prosperous farm. Tall, proud, shrewd, she is always in control-of her husband, her children, her workers, her land, even her God. But when her oldest son runs off to join Fidel Castro's rebels, her world begins to crumble, and when she finds her youngest son, Arturo, her favorite, her 'brightest star,' in bed with another boy, her despair burns more fiercely than the encroaching flames that drive this powerful story from present to past and back again. The second story, 'The Brightest Star,' finds this son imprisoned in one of Castro's camps for homosexuals, where his life is unrelieved, mind-numbing labor and brutality. To survive, Arturo writes, on anything he can find, on paper bags and torn-off scraps of political posters and in the margins of stolen official documents. He writes to open a window of freedom, to preserve a dream of beauty and love, with such passion and soaring poetry that we can see the magnificent castles, the lush hanging gardens, the crystal palaces of his imagination - which always revolve, and dissolve, around the image of Old Rosa, their fateful confrontation, the house in flames, the charred body of his mother, the one who loved him enough to kill him. inventory #13022. …
