Black Oxen

Carme Risk and her father contain and connect the action of this novel, becoming anchors through 50 years, three countries and numerous lives. Lequama, a Latin American country, had an inspirational revolution in the 1980s. The young, attractive leaders of that revolution continue to live life on the edge, through love affairs and government posts, until the 2020s. Carme is in narrative therapy in California in 2022, relating in her own words her experiences in Lequama, about her step-mother, her half-sister, her disappearing father and her friends, who were all touched by the revolution.
