Of Forgotten Times is a novel about women of two different families, whose only trait in common is their connection to the merciless and devastating dictator of their Caribbean homeland. Each woman must find her own path to independence, despite the tenuous hope of love and the pressures that seek to strip away each woman's identity. Originally published in Spanish in Santa Domingo in 1996, Of Forgotten Times has been skillfully translated into English and is a welcome contribution to international and women's literature.
