Huyendo del nazismo y, hablando apenas espąol, lleg̤ sola a un pa̕s extrąo donde muy pronto se vio inmersa en la insatisfacci̤n de un matrimonio arreglado que termin̤ en tragedia. Como madame Bovary, fue alcanzada por la fatalidad y la encerraron en Lecumberri, mientras que su amante ni siquiera pis̤ la c̀rcel. Opresi̤n, avaricia y una intrincada trama de celos y venganza componen esta sorprendente historia que escandaliz̤ a la sociedad mexicana de los ąos cincuenta, acaparando las primeras planas de la prensa nacional y desatando un linchamiento p͠blico pocas veces visto." -- various websites "Suzanne Avramow became known as "the best dressed woman in Mexico," her lifestyle was full of glamour: she dined at Ciro's; she attended dances at the Jockey Club; she stayed at the exclusive Mirador hotel in Acapulco and, After her marriage to the rich businessman Paul Antebi, she joined the group of the most influential families in the country during the German era. Fleeing from Nazism and, barely speaking Spanish, she arrived alone in a strange country where she soon found herself immersed in the dissatisfaction of a arranged marriage that ended in tragedy. Like Madame Bovary, she was overtaken by fate and imprisoned in Lecumberri, while her lover did not even set foot in prison. Oppression, greed and an intricate plot of jealousy and revenge make up this surprising story that scandalized Mexican society in the 1950s, monopolizing the front pages of the national press and unleashing a public lynching rarely seen." -- cataloger's translation
