- More about Promenade of Desire: A Barcelona Memoir
Maria Isidra's story is a brave and honest portrayal of her sensual and sexual awakening in the face of censure and repression, and her refusal to be held back by the constraints of her family, culture, and religion. She finds a surprising home in a rundown salsa club, where the lush rhythm sparks a deep wave of healing and sets off on a series of sexual and romantic misadventures in search of true intimacy.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: She Writes Press
Maria Isidra, a young woman raised in 1960s Spain by a strong matriarch during a repressive dictatorship, experiences early sexual trauma and fear, leading to a double life. However, with the dictator's death in 1975, Spain bursts wide open, giving way to democracy and a cultural revolution. Maria Isidra dives into a world of activism, communal living, literature, counterculture, open sexuality, and alcohol, but she feels something is missing. She finds a surprising home in a rundown salsa club, where the lush rhythm sparks a deep wave of healing. Promenade of Desire is a rich journey into the life of a woman once contained, who finds a way to set herself free.
