CANTORAS by Carolina De Robertis - The Austin Chronicle "Texas Book Festival 2019: Finding Their Power"

THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE | OCTOBER 28, 2019

“The story of the CIA laboring to get Doctor Zhivago published in the late Fifties and the story of a group of queer Uruguayan women creating a sanctuary where they can escape persecution in the late Seventies—you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re not an obvious pairing.

But the number one takeaway from Saturday’s Finding Their Power: Novels of Female Community and Autonomy panel was that Carolina De Robertis’ Cantoras and Lara Prescott’s The Secrets We Kept are sisters of the best kind—they share a set of values and ambitions and they are instantly in conversation with each other, placed in the same room.”

Carolina De Robertis, author of Cantoras, participated in the “Novels of Female Community and Autonomy” panel at the 2019 Texas Book Festival. Read a full recap of the panel at the link above!
