In 1977 Uruguay, a military government has crushed political dissent with ruthless force. In an environment where citizens are kidnapped, raped, and tortured, homosexuality is a dangerous transgression. And yet, despite such societal realities, Romina, Flaca, Anita "La Venus," Paz, and Malena--five cantoras, women who "sing"--Somehow, miraculously, find each other and discover an isolated cape, Cabo Polonio, inhabited by just a lonely lighthouse keeper and a few rugged seal hunters. They claim this place as their secret sanctuary. Over the next 35 years, their lives move back and forth between Cabo Polonio and Montevideo, the city they call home, as they return, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow, or alone. Throughout it all, the women will be tested repeatedly--by their families, lovers, society, and each other--as they fight to live authentic lives. A genre-defining novel and De Robertis's masterpiece, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit. De Robertis has written a novel that is at once timeless and groundbreaking--a tale about the fire in all our souls and those who make it burn"-- $c Provided by publisher 586 $a Stonewall Book Award, Barbara Gittings Literature Award, 2020. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sexual minority community $z Uruguay $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $x Government policy $z Uruguay $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Uruguay $x Politics and government $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Polonio, Cape (Uruguay) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Montevideo (Uruguay) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Uruguay $v Fiction. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ feÌminine $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Lesbiennes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a HomosexualiteÌ $x Politique gouvernementale $z Uruguay $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Actualisation de soi chez la femme $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Uruguay $x Politique et gouvernement $y 20e sieÌcle $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Polonio, Cap (Uruguay) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a CommunauteÌs de minoriteÌs sexuelles $z Uruguay $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Hispanic & Latino. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Sexual minority community $y Uruguay $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Homosexuality $x Government policy $y Uruguay $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 cct 650 7 $a Human rights $v Fiction. $2 cct 651 7 $a Uruguay $x Politics and government $z 20th century. $2 cct 651 7 $a Polonio, Cape (Uruguay) $2 cct 651 7 $a Montevideo (Uruguay) $2 cct 651 7 $a Uruguay $y Cape Polonio. $2 cct 651 7 $a Uruguay $y Montevideo. $2 cct 651 7 $a Uruguay $x Social conditions. $2 cct 650 7 $a Female friendship $2 fast 650 7 $a Homosexuality $x Government policy $2 fast 650 7 $a Lesbians $2 fast 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast 650 7 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $2 fast 650 7 $a Sexual minority community $2 fast 651 7 $a Uruguay $2 fast 651 7 $a Uruguay $z Cape Polonio $2 fast 651 7 $a Uruguay $z Montevideo $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a LGBTQ+ communities $2 homoit $0 https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000297 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Human rights $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Uruguay $x Social conditions $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Lesbian fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Political fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Lesbian fiction. $2 homoit 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Lesbian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans lesbiens. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a De Robertis, Carolina. $t Cantoras. $b First edition. $d New York : Alfred A.
