Summary

Esta novela, ambientada en la turbulenta Cuba desde la post-independencia, la Revolución de Machado, la Constitución del 40, el golpe de estado de Batista, y finalmente el inicio de la Revolución Cubana, narra la vida de Josefina, madre de la autora, y cómo su relación con otras mujeres la lleva a desafiar la sociedad patriarcal.
Lola, madre de Josefina y adolescente viuda de un oficial español, subsiste gracias al amor prohibido con su confesor.
Minerva, la otra hija de Lola, es forzada por su marido a renunciar a la herencia que le dejó el cura. Gema, la mejor amiga de Josefina, es la heredera del rey del Habano, y la introduce en el glamoroso mundo de la burguesía habanera de los años veinte, mientras que Marcelina, la nana, inicia a su hija, Sonia Julia de Jesús, en el mundo de los orishas afrocubanos.
Estrella es una campesina a quien Josefina convierte en empresaria; y Beatriz y Emelina, ilustran, ante la mirada crítica de la protagonista, el binomio republicano de la esposa y la amante.
Josefina se propone un destino diferente para sí misma, no supeditarse nunca a la autoridad masculina. Para lograrlo, se apoya en un diálogo permanente con el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que comienza siempre con la misma pregunta: «Dime alma mía, ¿qué mal te aqueja?»

    The Man Who Killed The World by Ray Cummings - Groff ruled the world through Fear. Fear of his awful power ... his twisted, mad brain. For one day that brain would crack. When it did, the World would dissolve in cataclysmic Chaos. 
    In his little tower, perched at the very peak of the great terraced pile of buildings which was his home and his citadel, Peter Groff sat brooding with hatred. The city, its factories, its vast plowed fields, lay stretched below him. Millions of humans, at play in little games. How he hated them! And they hated him—hated and feared him. It made him chuckle. For all his life he had worked and schemed and fought to make himself a power. The richest, most powerful man in the world—he had attained it. They had called him cruel, in his youth, with his ruthless business methods. He had laughed. Then they had no longer dared call him anything which would anger him. And he had laughed at that, while he had bought their governments and their armies with his money. 
    He was laughing now as he thought of it. In seventy years he had made the name Peter Groff a thing at which to tremble. Over all the earth, from the heads of his groveling puppet governments down to the lowliest child driving a plow in the fields, there was no one who did not secretly fear Groff, the power of his money, the sound of anger in his voice. Here in his citadel his servants trembled—and hated him. It was funny, because by their methods they had gotten nothing; and he had gotten everything.

    “OUR VERDICT: GET IT” –Kirkus Reviews 
    The utopia you didn't know you were homesick for. 
    Republic of Forge and Grace is a bold reimagining of American potential—echoing Kim Stanley Robinson’s systems thinking and the sweeping scope of Callenbach’s Ecotopia. Rich in technical detail, shot through with wit and unexpected sensuality, it’s a love letter to the America that might have been. It is grounded in real-world know-how, for readers who want speculative fiction with brains, a beating heart, and the nerve to ask: what if we made different choices? 
    When Chris Walden stumbles into Boulder, Colorado, in a parallel universe, he’s just looking to shoot some video, cash in, and bail. But what he finds captivates him: a place where folks raise houses together, kids know how to weld, and courtship begins at the Summer Ball. This America never shipped its working hands overseas, never traded its main streets for strip malls. It runs on vacuum-maglev trains and liquid-metal reactors—but it also passes down customizable radios, leaves muddy footprints on the porch, and its dishwashers argue back. Out on the Great Plains, bison and cheetahs run wild again. 
    As Chris is drawn into the orbit of an unconventional four-way relationship, his bonds to the place deepen, and he begins to see what his America traded away—and what this one still might lose. In the world he left behind, his entrepreneurial friend sees only an untapped market to exploit. 
    Chris came as a tourist. Now, he’s the only thing standing between two worlds.
