Overview: Her past lives hold the truth. Her curse holds the key. Love is the price either way.
Marisol Varela, a Cuban American muralist living in present-day Madrid, isn’t just dealing with a failed engagement, she is confronting a generational curse that has doomed every woman in her family to a life devoid of lasting love. Desperate to break the pattern, Mar dives headfirst into past life regression therapy, determined to uncover the root of her lineage’s heartbreak.
Transported across centuries, Marisol relives three tumultuous lives as a rebellious female painter in 1482 Florence, a shrewd prostitute entangled in espionage during the final years of the Spanish Inquisition in 1808 Madrid, and a resilient gay man navigating the precarious waters of the 1980s SoHo AIDS epidemic. No matter the era, fate’s cruel hand always snatches away true love.
Amid the upheaval of her incarnations, one figure appears again and again, Dario, an enigmatic Italian poet whose magnetic presence seems to transcend time itself. As their fates intertwine across centuries, Marisol must confront the weight of her family’s curse, along with the possibility that true, timeless love may not be what she always imagined.
Published in English and Spanish, this genre-blending novel explores immigration, gender, queerness, and art as survival, offering an emotionally resonant, book club–ready story.
