Paradise

In this ingenious satire, Solita, the not quite ten-year-old daughter of refugees from Franco?ÇÖs Spain, is whisked from the urban ghetto of Galmeda to El Topaz, the lush hacienda of a wealthy eccentric, which her mother assures her will be paradise. But behind its beautiful fa?ºade, El Topaz is a quagmire of social subterfuge, from its politicking adults to its spiteful children, and Solita finds herself alone in a glittery world where ?you couldn?ÇÖt trust anything. Or anybody. You had to navigate completely on your own.
