Resumen del Editor
"Cantoras is a stunning lullaby to revolution - and each woman in this novel sings it with a deep ferocity. Again and again, I was lifted, then gently set down again - either through tears, rage, or laughter. Days later, I am still inside this song of a story." (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author)
From the highly acclaimed, award-winning author of The Gods of Tango, a revolutionary new novel about five wildly different women who, in the midst of the Uruguayan dictatorship, find one another as lovers, friends, and ultimately, family.
In 1977 Uruguay, a military government crushed political dissent with ruthless force. In this environment,where the everyday rights of people are under attack, homosexuality is a dangerous transgression to be punished. And yet Romina, Flaca, Anita "La Venus", Paz, and Malena - five cantoras, women who "sing" - somehow, miraculously, find one another. Together, they discover an isolated, nearly uninhabited cape, Cabo Polonio, which they claim as their secret sanctuary. Over the next 35 years, their lives move back and forth between Cabo Polonio and Montevideo, the city they call home, as they return, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow, or alone. And throughout, again and again, the women will be tested - by their families, lovers, society, and one another - as they fight to live authentic lives.
A genre-defining novel and De Robertis's masterpiece, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit. At once timeless and groundbreaking, Cantoras is a tale about the fire in all our souls and those who make it burn.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“A lyrical, richly sensory novel about a group of renegade cantoras - slang for queer women - who claim a beach refuge during the worst years of the dictatorship in Uruguay, and beyond. Together they steal time from oppression of all kinds, unspooling the infinity of themselves. Pointedly relevant to our own dangerous age, Carolina De Robertis has gifted us a majestic work of song and imagination, a handbook to survival for us all.” (Cristina García, author of Here in Berlin)
“Rich and luscious, De Robertis’ writing feels like a living thing, lapping over the reader like the ocean. Carefully crafted and expertly observed, each sentence is an elegant gift...A stunning novel about queer love, womanhood, and personal and political revolution.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred)
“I loved Cantoras. I rooted for these remarkable women during every step of their journey and found myself weeping in gratitude and happiness in the final pages.” (Lisa See, author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane)

Historia
Who Killed My Father rips into France’s long neglect of the working class and its overt contempt for the poor, accusing the complacent French - at the minimum - of negligent homicide. The author goes to visit the ugly gray town of his childhood to see his dying father, barely 50 years old, who can hardly walk or breathe: “You belong to the category of humans whom politics consigns to an early death.” It’s as simple as that.

A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals—while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel “the unbearable lightness of being."

When her keepers strike up a card game, Caroline sneaks into her maid’s car, turns the key, and drives right out of the palace. Alone for the first time in years, she gets on the next flight—only to land in the waiting arms of her guards. As she’s forcibly escorted back to her marble prison, something in Caroline breaks for good. It’s not her first failed attempt, and it won’t be her last. Caroline suspects that she’ll never escape. But she might find a way to be free.

Lala Reyes’ grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl-makers. The striped (caramelo) is the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way, like the family history it has come to represent, into Lala’s possession. The novel opens with the Reyes’ annual car trip - a caravan overflowing with children, laughter, and quarrels - from Chicago to “the other side”, Mexico City. It is there, each year, that Lala hears her family’s stories, separating the truth from the “healthy lies” that have ricocheted from one generation to the next.

Historia
Lala Reyes’ grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl-makers. The striped (caramelo) is the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way, like the family history it has come to represent, into Lala’s possession. The novel opens with the Reyes’ annual car trip - a caravan overflowing with children, laughter, and quarrels - from Chicago to “the other side”, Mexico City. It is there, each year, that Lala hears her family’s stories, separating the truth from the “healthy lies” that have ricocheted from one generation to the next.

Relatable
If you read the synopsis of this book, you wouldn't think it, but it's incredibly relatable. It is a LGBTQ+ book set in politically charged 1970's South America and is an all female lead. You might ask, how is that relatable? Well, it's a story about being accepted as yourself and finding a place that you can be that version of you. I think we've all struggled with that regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and political associations. Also, it helps that it was beautifully written. Enjoy!

A Good read
I liked the fact that the author was able to communicate the ugly stuff that was going on without being so graphic that it gave me nightmares. That's not an easy feat so kudos to her!

see the azpn page for this book for my full review, but I will say Carolina DeRobertis gave an incredible vocal performance and I can't wait to hear her read again, whether it be at a reading or for one of her other books.

A beautiful, modern LGBTQ classic!
I’m in tears at the beauty and scope of this book. The characters’ stories, struggles and triumphs over the years of Uruguayan dictatorship to (almost) present day will deeply touch you heart. It’s the story of a family of female friends- a chosen family bonded by their queerness, finding safety in the seclusion of a tiny beachside hut where they always return. Elegantly written, I must now purchase a printed copy. I want to savor the artistry of words on the page. Kudos and congratulations to Mrs. De Robertis for securing a spot in the canon of LBGTQ and Latin American literature. The world is better for your work! (Oh, and the narration was perfecto!)

I love the book with my whole heart <3
I love the book with my whole heart. When I decided to check out the audiobook right after finishing the paperback, I did not know I would also end up falling in love with this version. Narrated by the author, I knew listening to Cantoras would bring me closer to the characters, closer to the story.
And did it ever.
Revisiting the book after only one month since finishing it for the first time and flipping through the pages everyday for the past weeks, I’d say a sizable chunk of the writing was already forever seared into my memory. The intensity Cantoras initially brought has now pulsed to a softer, yet forever aching throb in my heart, and I can finally experience the beautiful joy and wholesomeness of the book amidst the heartbreak of it all.
The pacing felt a bit different upon reread; the story seemed to be faster but in more details at the same time. With the calming flow of De Robertis’s voice, the listening experience was like hearing a friend reminiscing the past, a past which I shared from reading the evocative writing last month. The voices of the characters weren’t exactly what I had expected. But much like the higher pitched, almost hilarious voice of Romina, yet so filled with resilience and surety, everything works perfectly. We have the soft, “honey-coated” voice of Malena, the deeper, more powerful one of Flaca, the rather sultry, breathy voice of La Venus, and the energetic, younger voice of Paz. It was wonderful to hear how the words were spoken, how the author sounded out the rhythm in the sentences, and how the cantoras banter back and forth. Threaded in the dialogues were affection, familiarity, playfulness, and pain, and through the audio, the personalities of the characters were more vivid, the group dynamics even more vibrant.
There is so much to this book that even reading it for the second time, I still find new gems among the words. Listening made it almost impossible to miss the details—details that killed me a little inside, that made me want to claw at my heart, to scream and cry and crumple all at the same time, and details that put a content smile on my face, my heart relieved and happy for the characters. My love for the cantoras grew, shifted for some but stronger and deeper.
And when I look up to the sky at night and see the moon, be it “a meager slice” or not, it feels comforting to know that they, the cantoras, have shared the view of the same moon with me, as time and space collapse into one.

Marvelous story, excellent narration
What an amazing and important story, gorgeously told. I feel privileged to have engaged in the lives of these five women, the cantoras of the title, and I learned much about love and about the history of Uruguay. Often I feel that an author should not narrate her own book — rarely are authors also voice artists — but Carolina‘s narration was superb, truly flawless. I kept wanting to stop what else I was doing so I could keep listening to this book! Highly
recommended.
