Guadalupe Magdalena Molina VÁsquez – wife, scoundrel, courtesan, mother – is full of contradictions: she believes in love but is suspicious of men; she rejects religion but admires the Virgin Mary; she respects tradition while breaking all the rules. Here, in the Golden Zone of TeatÁn, Mexico, Magda tells her extraordinary life story – from a poor Mexican barrio to American affluence, from wide-eyed childhood to worldly courtesan life, from full-blooded youth to oncoming blindness – and bewitchingly imparts the hard-earned wisdom she has gained through the years.
