I really enjoyed the perspective of this book, with the main charter not only being a woman but also of that high class, it gives a unique perspective to the Sandanistas. I also really enjoyed how descriptive Gioconda Belli is and her writing style doesn't leave any details out and provides a new uncensored rawness to topics most people won't even talk about let alone write. Her poet skills can be seen throughout the book as she reveals all aspects of her life, even the parts that paint her in a bad light. Her honesty is refreshing and I couldn't help but continue to be intrigued by the story. Her life almost seemed movie-like in all of her experiences, so it's amazing to me that it is based on her real life. Following her life from her first marriage, the birth of her children, her affairs, her aid in the revolution, all the way to her finding the love of her life and adopting a child from Nicaragua was a roller coaster of emotions, but fully worth the read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great First Hand Experience of Nicaragua from 1960s-90s *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022* I read this book for a class on Central America, and wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy it. But I ended up really liking the book as a whole, how specific the details were and Belli’s interesting, personal takes on political figures, such as President Daniel Ortega. I wish I could ask for her comments on Ortega now after what is currently happening in Nicaragua, and how she feels about what the revolution she stood for has eventually turned her country into. She was always very adamant in the book that she wasn’t fond of the Ortega brothers or their leadership style and manipulations, and I would be interested to see how she feels about his essential authoritarianism now. Overall, the book was interesting and a better insight into what happened in Nicaragua than any history book could give you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book Review *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022* A novel about incredible enthusiasm, honesty, and what it's like to be so immersed in something bigger and better than yourself. I was overwhelmed with such zeal for Nicaragua's cause, her life, and the entire endeavor. I really appreciated how open she was about herself, the Sandinistas, the Contras, and everyone else involved. She had her own interests, but she understood the historical context so well that she could see the other side's point of view. At the end, I felt sad for her small country against a giant, but also proud of them for their effort and dignity. I appreciate the rawness of the book itself. This is a book that I will remember for a long time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7033628-the-country-under-my-skin-a-memoir-of-love-war](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7033628-the-country-under-my-skin-a-memoir-of-love-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
