Undressing Lavinia, is a mosaic of memory and imagination, where past and present collide, and ghosts speak to the living.
Told from multiple character points of view and alternating timelines, Undressing Lavinia offers a revealing story of a woman's life as she faces her own cancer diagnosis and death. This moving and honest portrait is a profoundly insightful look into the complexities of family, culture, sexuality, mourning, and commitment. Spanning sixty-some years--from growing up in Mexico and attending school at Harvard to settling in the Midwest and traveling the world--the story of Lavinia is filled with intimate secrets and unexpected twists.
