Doña Isabel Luberza Oppenheimer es una de las mujeres más poderosas, respetadas y temidas de su ciudad. Pero no siempre ha sido así. Abandonada por su madre cuando era niña, Isabel La Negra, Isabelita, ya sirve como criada en una casa noble de la ciudad a la edad de ocho años. Isabel se somete a una lucha interminable para subir en la sociedad. Enfrentándose a la desgracia, consigue el respeto de los suyos, su independencia y la libertad que trae el dinero. Escrito con una prosa natural, llena de color y poesía, Mayra Santos-Febres nos cuenta del ascenso social de una mujer en una historia que nos enseña pasión, ambición, y a la vez, la desigualdad entre una burguesía acomodada y la pobreza de los desafortunados.
