Meet
Me Under The Ombu Tree - Book
I - synopsis
Published in 2001
Sofia Solanas grows up on a magnificent ranch in the middle
of the Argentine pampa, amid the grand traditions of the Argentine
nobility and the mysticism of the native gauchos. Spoilt, wilful,
resourceful and proud, Sofia is loved by all around her. All,
that is, except her Irish mother, Anna, who punishes her daughter
for her own sense of alienation and inadequacy while doting
on her sons. Then Sofia embarks on a passionate love affair
that can only bring shame upon the family. When Anna discovers
the relationship, she is horrified and sends Sofia away to
Europe, inadvertently exiling her from her family and the man
she loves for over twenty years. And then a family tragedy
calls Sofia home.
Following the story of the Solanas family
in Argentina during the tumultuous years of political upheaval,
and Sofia’s
life as an exile, Meet Me Under The Ombu Tree is a moving,
evocative and unforgettable story of love and forgiveness from
a brilliant new voice.
