“Alba de Céspedes wrote novels in the 1940s and 1950s that were radically contemporary, both then and now . . . [her] fiction is written with an acute sense of responsibility to tell the truth. . . . Her Side of the Story is a courageous novel, beautifully imagined and written.”
—Elena Lappin, The Washington Post
“Her Side of the Story is an achievement that warrants not only a second look at this forgotten writer, but also an important place in the canon of women’s literature.”
—Margarita Diaz, The Chicago Review of Books
★ “De Céspedes’s melancholy testament to a hidden life feels timeless and vital.”
—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“A lavishly detailed critique of romantic ideals and social constrictions.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“De Cespedes’ work has lost none of its subversive force.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Asks perennial questions about the value and dangers of an examined life.”
—Lara Feigel, The Guardian
