Title: Memoria de Viento
Description: "Memoria de viento is a refreshing novel about the life of a courageous woman, hungry for spiritual knowledge and full of wisdom.  Adolfina Olleres defies all the conventions of her time and confronts the entrenched racial prejudice of the old Cuba of the fifties by living a full life in Europe.  She travels around Asia, having physical and spiritual experiences that bring her to a deepened Hindu and Tibetan wisdom that resonates astonishingly with her very distinct childhood in Cuba.  She regains this childhood at a mature age in order to complete the hidden circle in the labyrinths of her blood, her memories and her profound intuition, bringing her to recognize herself as initiated in the secrets of the Afro-Cuban Orishas."
