What lengths will we go to for love? And in what forms could this love show up in? Strong-willed Lillibet, a Bolivian cholita wrestler, is enthralled by Emilio and Emiliano-twins in appearance only. They share success and acclaim in the wrestling world but their complex relationship sets them on a path towards tragedy. Against a backdrop of harsh economics, prejudice and societal changes across generations, Strength in Petticoats is a vibrant story in a carnivalesque world. A high-stakes tale of a search for love in which human flaws have dire consequences, as colourful as it is compassionate, Strength in Petticoats asks big questions in this inventive and compelling debut novel.
