520 1  "Born into poverty and then abandoned by her mother, 
       Isabel "La Negra" Luberza blossoms into a supremely 
       sensual young woman. Obsessed with attaining aristocratic 
       status - armed with incredible physical presence, 
       indomitable ambition, and keen intelligence - she meets 
       Fernando Fornaris, the man who will forever change her 
       life. With a parcel of land given to her by her rich, 
       white married lover, Isabel transforms herself into a hard
       -edged and merciless businesswoman - abandoning her own 
       newborn son to become Puerto Rico's most feared and 
       respected madam, a collector of society's secrets, a queen
       of the notorious brothel that emerges as the island's true
       political and economic heart." 
520 8  "Set against the rich backdrop of the Caribbean and the 
       United States during the tumultuous years of World War II,
       Mayra Santos-Febres's Our Lady of the Night is a novel of 
       passion, power, and the devastating price of achieving 
       everything one wishes for."--Jacket.
