In 'Corazón que ríe, corazón que llora', Maryse Condé invites us on an intimate journey through the memories of her childhood on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. The author narrates with honesty and sensitivity the complexities of growing up between two worlds, divided between the French heritage of her parents and the reality of being a black girl in a colonial environment. Through her experiences, Condé explores themes such as identity, racism, love, and loss, offering a moving and insightful look at the early years of her life and the awakening of her literary vocation. This book is a key piece to understanding the work of one of the most important voices in Caribbean literature, winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize for Literature in 2018.
