A bestseller throughout Latin America when it was published last year, Lovesick is the story of a passion interwoven with the history of a nation, a war, a family and a vocation. Emilia Sauri is torn between her love for her childhooh playmate, Daniel Cuenca, who runs off to join the Mexican Revolution, and her desire to become a doctor. Her professional calling leads her to Antonio Zavalza, a physician whose only audacity is to desire peace in the midst of a cival war. With an assured hand and a crystalline touch, reminiscent of the writings of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende, Angeles Mastretta presents the vivid portrait of a woman both fragile and bold, who enters the new century shedding the bonds and predjudices of previous generations. As Emilia must sort through ther affairs of her heart, so too must she confront the fate history presents - a nation wracked by years of war and society awakening to the tumult of the twentieth century, and the place for a woman of many passions.
