AN EXPLORATION OF LOVE, LUST AND BETRAYAL
Part novel, part expose, Diana is a stirring portrait of a passionate affair amid the cultural chaos of the 1960s and 1970s. The central character is Diana Soren, an elegy for a decade that refused to die. She is a predator set on self-destruction, and a casualty of her own times and beauty.
Mexico's pre-eminent novelist presents a poignant story of bittersweet love that was a huge success in his native country.
