Synopsis
An Englishwoman recalls her troubled marriage to a Venezuelan, and the years she lived at the family hacienda. When Lisa St. Aubin married Jaime de Teran in 1968, she barely knew a thing about him apart from his name and the fact that he was rich, aristocratic, and extremely handsome. After their wedding--when she was 18--she soon saw signs of instability in her husband, accompanied by a neglect that bordered on hostility, though they did manage to conceive one child, a daughter. As St. Aubin describes how she coped with motherhood, illness, death, homesickness, the running of a prosperous sugar plantation, and the difficulties--never fully overcome--of fitting in as a foreigner in an ancient and obsessively traditional society, she provides a stirring and sympathetic portrait of a determined young woman who succeeds in keeping herself intact in the face of what might seem insurmountable odds. She also manages to convey the appealing lushness of a place and a culture that seduced her even as it tested her to the limit.

Publisher's Note
From a prize-winning British author comes a lush, absorbing memoir--an "Out of Africa" set in the Venezuelan Andes. Tremendously atmospheric, "The Hacienda" brilliantly evokes the unique confluence of time, place, and people that shaped this powerful writer.

Industry Reviews
"A funny, frightening memoir."
