Without men, the small Colombian mountain village becomes a sinking wasteland filled with women resigned to food shortages, littered streets, and mourning. But Rosalba viuda de Patiño, wife of the former police sergeant, envisions a different future for the town of widows. Declaring herself magistrate, she promises to instill law and order, and restore the failing economy and infrastructure—and proceeds to create a utopia far greater than any revolutionary's imagined ideal society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeft, rich, and darkly humorous, \u003cem\u003eTales from the Town of Widows\u003c\/em\u003e marks the arrival of an unforgettable new literary talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46825265627391,"sku":"9780061140396","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780061140396_s600x595.jpg?v=1779893895","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780061140396","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
