But Fasquita's gift incites others' jealousy. She is hounded and eventually banished from her home. What follows is an extraordinary adventure as she travels across southern Spain all the way to Africa with her five children in tow. Her exile becomes a quest for a better life, for herself and her daughters, whom she hopes can escape the fate of her family of sorcerers.
Winner of no less than nine literary prizes, a bestseller in France and Italy, and soon to be a major film directed by the author, Carole Martinez's The Threads of the Heart has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of readers in Europe. For readers who loved The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende or One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, The Threads of the Heart possesses the lyric beauty of a prose poem and the narrative power of myth and cannot fail to delight.

Industry Reviews
--Buzz Litteraire
"Carole Martinez interrogates unflinchingly the mystery of human relations, and the games of power between men and women... she refuses to be trapped in "realism,."..she prefers the poetry and the imaginary."
--Evelyne De Martinis, " Le Nouvel Observateur "2011
