Two Women

The Swedish writer Marianne Fredriksson helps us experience the problems and prejudices both toward and by immigrants in this story of an unlikely friendship between Swedish born Inge and Chilean emigre Mira. What brings them together is a common love of flowers; what keeps them together is their feminine experiences with men and life in general

All new to me were the insights into the Cilean revolution and brutal suppression abetted by our CIA assassination of legitimate reform presiident Allende. Also the bigotry of the Chilean upper classes toward the lower.
