De Robertis brings to life each of the women and the characters they meet along their journeys with rich energy and warmth, as though they become your own family over the course of the novel. This story will fill your heart with joy, grief, and laughter as each of these women navigate their lives in the tumultuous 1970s and 1980s. Her writing is lyrical and paints beautiful pictures of the cities, the landscapes, and the humans that inhabit them. Though the third-person perspectives of each of the five women are shared in this story, the narrative flows naturally and clearly, with no ambiguity as to which vignette of the story we are seeing. Cantoras is a must-read for seekers of queer truths. Five women from very different backgrounds come together in Uruguay, which eventually became the third country in the Americas to legalize same-sex marriage, to love, grow, and ache, and are ready to welcome you when you open this book.
Moderate: Homophobia, Rape, and Suicide
