Different Flags by Eugenia Renskoff

Different Flags, a book by Eugenia Renskoff, tells the story of 26-year-old Ani. Ani leaves her comfortable but stifling life in San Francisco to travel to Argentina to comfort her widowed Aunt Esther. Once back in her native country, Ani must face her unexpected feelings of love for Padre Luis, her aunt's young and handsome parish priest. Different Flags is a study of Ani's inner conflict.

Cara

February 5, 1986: My face, Ani. I have the face of an old woman. I am so tired. I hate my wrinkles. I didn´t think I would ever have any. Please, don´t be like me. I know how much you love El Padre. Did you ever stop to think that sex is a big part of your love for him? Don´t be shocked. Yes,your grandmother raised your Mama and me to never mention the word. But I know you feel that for him.You think it has magic and it does. You are a very intense woman, Ani,that´s why you still care for him. That´s a curse. I had it, too, when your Tio was alive. Forget Luis if you can. I can´t promise you that you´ll meet another man that you´ll love even more, but give him up. In your heart. Let it say: I can never have you. The Church says so.
