The cult book of an entire generation of women. Lavinia's carefree life in Latin America changes overnight when she falls in love with Felipe, who is involved in the country's underground movement against the dictatorship. She confides her feelings to the old orange tree in her garden. What she does not suspect is that the soul of Itzá, who rebelled against the traditional role of women in the 16th century to fight against the Spanish conquerors, lives within it. More and more, the brave Indian warrior influences Lavinia's thoughts and actions.
