One day two women gather to tell stories. As the stories take life, the two women become their characters. A day and night of telling builds into a crescendo of unimaginable truth where the boundaries between story, fable, and myth evaporate like breath and words. Personal memories and nighttime dreams are woven into romances and exotic yarns from Casablanca to Catalunya. Plumbing the depths of human sentiment and existence, the confidantes lead us into veiled pathways rarely traveled. Angelina Muñiz-Huberman's writing is lyrical and alluring, and Andrea Labinger's translation preserves the magic.

Angelina Muñiz-Huberman's historical novel, A Mystical Journey, combines poetic prose and an improbable happy ending. Within the structure of the archetypal journey of the hero, a Jewish teenager in late sixteenth-century Spain manages to avoid the Inquisition by joining a perilous Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is assisted by a magical muleteer who appears and disappears periodically in different guises until the protagonist and his beloved Miriam are safely settled in the northern town of Safed. Although the author's attention to Jewish history and her poetic style mark the majority of her books of fiction and essays, A Mystical Journey is one of her most important works and one that contributes to her reputation as one of the most important contemporary writers in Mexico and Latin America.
