Books by Isidra Mencos

Promenade of Desire narrates a young woman¿s journey from repression to liberation in tandem with Spain¿s transition from dictatorship to democracy. As the country transforms itself, the shy María Isidra evolves into the alluring Isadora, whose passion for books and salsa dancing sustains her as she discovers what it means to be lustful and loved, and reclaims her whole self.
