Ballad of Another Time: A Novel

A haunting, almost uncanny tale of love and honor in which the three main characters move through a world of secret passions and silences... [Set in Puerto Rico], scenes of impoverished farmers, madwomen, and men in coffee shops and cafes combine to form a blend of voices and landscapes whose essence can be distilled into three words: tobacco, coffee, and sugar... Asa Zatz must be praised for bringing into his English version the beauty and melody of [Gonzalez's] Spanish original. — Marjorie Agosin, New York Times Book Review
