520 _a"A dying woman's attempt to recount the story of her life reveals the fragility of memory and the illusion of identity"--
_cProvided by publisher.
546 _aTranslated into English from Spanish.
520 _aA woman traveling on a transatlantic ship falls overboard; adrift, she makes a promise to Saint Rita, "arbiter of the impossible," that if she survives, she will write her life story. As she drifts, the story of her life-- a repertoire of miracles, threats, and people parade tumultuously through her mind. Eventually her imagination begins to commandeer her memories, escaping the strictures of realism.
