Infinity in the Palm of Her Hand by Gioconda Belli

Prepare to enter a fascinating, primitive universe that goes back to the very beginning, to the story upon which Western civilization is based. Poetry and mystery go hand in hand in this transcendent novel about mankind, as never before imagined. Join Adam and Eve as they discover the world for themselves, feel their confusion and panic when they face punishment, and observe in awe as they experience the power to give life and, eventually, the ability to take it away to survive.

From internationally acclaimed poet and author Gioconda Belli comes a beguiling and soulfully rewarding novel--a parable that captures our own time and our own uncertain future.

Gioconda Belli joined the FSLN in 1970 and was a member of the Nicaraguan underground resistance until 1975, when she was forced to flee the secret police of the Somoza administration and go into exile. She took involved in various logistical activities throughout her exile. She held official roles when Somoza was deposed and the Sandinistas took control, but she abandoned her political responsibilities in 1986 to pursue a career as a full-time writer. She spends time in both Managua and Los Angeles.
