  • Overview

    Carmina habla con los muertos desde que era niña. Vive en un mundo de oscuridad donde el rencor y el deseo de venganza la han mantenido en la profundidad de una morada muerta, habitada por sentimientos tan negros como el carbón que se extrae en las minas de Coahuila. En un mantel borda con hilo negro los nombres de la familia Calderón, a quienes detesta y de los que se ha vengado difundiendo chismes. Al centro resaltan las puntadas con las que ha bordado El Cura, un sacerdote del pasado que para ella no merece decir su nombre. Al morir su hermana Ada, no tiene otra opción que volver al pasado, encontrarse con sus sobrinos nietos y tratar de reconstruir su historia. Por otro lado, la muerte de varios mineros en la mina Pasta de Conchos, despiertan en Bernardo, sobrino de Carmina, los recuerdos de la ausencia y la rabia de la injusticia que tratará de recomponer a través de su trabajo como periodista. En esta novela, Mónica Castellanos reconstruye el viaje a los infiernos, ya sean los personales, como los de Carmina o del propio Bernardo, así como los de esos mineros que murieron por la negligencia de muchos y que, una vez más, quedaron sepultados en el olvido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Carmina has been talking to the dead since she was a child. She lives in a world of darkness where resentment and a desire for revenge have kept her in the depths of a dead dwelling, inhabited by feelings as black as the coal mined in Coahuila. On a tablecloth using black thread, she embroiders the names of the Calderón family, whom she detests and has taken revenge on by spreading gossip. In the center, the stitches with which she has embroidered El Cura stand out. He is a priest from the past who, for her, does not deserve to have his name mentioned. When her sister Ada dies, she has no choice but to return to the past, meet her grandnephews and nieces, and try to reconstruct her history. On the other hand, the death of several miners in the Pasta de Conchos mine awakens memories of absence and anger towards injustice in Bernardo, Carmina's nephew, which he will try to repair through his work as a journalist. In this novel, Mónica Castellanos reconstructs the journey to hell, whether personal, like that of Carmina or Bernardo himself, or that of the miners who died due to the negligence of many and who, once again, were buried in oblivion.
