Promenade of Desire: A Barcelona Memoir - Paperback

by Isidra Mencos (Author)

"A brave and unblinkingly honest portrait of a young woman's sensual and sexual awakening in the face of censure and repression, and her refusal to be held back by the constraints of her family, culture, and religion. The same joyful spirit that expresses itself in Mencos' love of dancing shines through in her story of her own personal dance into a brave new world beyond the one her mother prescribed for her. Her story is shameless, in the very best sense of the word."
--Joyce Maynard, New York Times best-selling author of Labor Day, To Die For, and Count The Ways
