Publisher's Synopsis
Text in Spanish. For more than 30 years, the readership of Colombia's daily paper, El Paìs, has heeded a critic who, in spite of overwhelming naïveté, has succeeded at earning a special place in their hearts. Nieves, a shy and iconoclastic young black woman, analyses Colombia, its public figures, conflicts, passions, and misfortunes with brilliant humour and flirtation. She has become her country's social conscience, and represents her fellow citizens' ideals, morals, political hopes, and affectionate loyalties.
