Tuck, Lily The News from Paraguay: A Novel
Harper Perennial December 1, 200 0-06-093486-7 / 9780060934866 Paperback Fine
Tuck's historical novel of nineteenth-century Paraguay is told largely thro ugh (and sometimes in the voice of) Ella Lynch, a blond, fair-skinned Irish woman who, while a courtesan in Paris, met Francisco Solano Lopez, the son of Paraguay's dictator. She became his mistress and, after Lopez (known as Franco) succeeded his father, she was the most powerful woman in the countr y. As an Irishwoman in Paraguay, Tuck's Ella is an outsider. But so, in a w ay, is Franco, a megalomaniac who builds a theatre modelled on La Scala and wages a disastrous war against Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Paraguay's malarial swamps and faux-European high society are the perfect setting for Tuck's dark wit, and her novel is quickened by such details as Ella's pink marble palace and her son's "necklace" made from the ears of enemy soldiers on a rawhide string.
