From the highly acclaimed, award-winning author of The Gods Of Tango, a revolutionary new novel about five wildly different women who, in the midst of the Uruguayan dictatorship, find one another as lovers, friends, and ultimately, family. 

"Rich and luscious, De Robertis’ writing feels like a living thing, lapping over the reader like the ocean...A stunning novel about queer love, womanhood, and personal and political revolution."  -  Kirkus Reviews

In defiance of the brutal military government that took power in Uruguay in the 1970s, and under which homosexuality is a dangerous transgression, five women miraculously find one another - and, together, an isolated cape that they claim as their own. 

Over the next thirty-five years, they travel back and forth from this secret sanctuary, sometimes together, sometimes in pairs, with lovers in tow or alone. Throughout it all, they will be tested repeatedly - by their families, lovers, society, and one another - as they fight to live authentic lives.

"The great success of this novel is that it shows how tyranny, even if you can hide from it by living a quiet life, is a thief of joy and love — and not just love that’s been deemed subversive, like that of the cantoras... By refusing to let a thing be only itself, De Robertis robs simple objects and gestures of their innate beauty and power... Cantoras is bold and unapologetic...It’s a revolutionary fable, ideal for this moment."  -  Dina Nayeri, The New York Times Book Review

A genre-defining novel and Carolina De Robertis's masterpiece, Cantoras is a breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit.
