Overview
Selección del club de lectura Good Morning America (GMA) para junio
Una historia de pasión y venganza sobre una familia y la maldición que los persigue por años.
En 1951, una misteriosa anciana confronta a Pilar Aguirre en La Ciénaga, un pueblo fronterizo entre México y Texas. Convencida de que Pilar le robó el marido, le arroja una maldición que cae también sobre su familia. Medio siglo después, Lulú Muñoz está lidiando con una vida caótica, sobre todo, con su inminente fiesta de quinceaños. Como si fuera poco, fallece su amada abuela. En el funeral, una desconocida glamourosa y solitaria aparece para cambiarle la vida.
Rica en detalles cinemáticos —desde rodeos polvorientos, un concierto de Selena y el confort de las baladas que se tocan en las reuniones familiares— este memorable debut nos enfrenta a dos
poderosas voces femeninas: la de una mujer que debe reconciliarse con su pasado y la de una joven que se esfuerza por abrazar su futuro. Es, sobre todo, una carta de amor a la cultura tejana y a la importancia de la familia.
Fuentes ha logrado algo raro e inolvidable con esta historia de mujeres tan complejas.—Erika Sánchez, autora de Yo no soy tu perfecta hija mexicana
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Good Morning America (GMA) Book Club pick for June
A story full of passion and revenge, following one family living on the Texas Mexico border and a curse that reverberates across generations --"Fuentes has achieved something rare and indelible with this story of complex women.” (Erika L. Sánchez)
In 1951, a mysterious old woman confronts Pilar Aguierre in the small boarder town of La Cienega, Texas. The old woman is sure Pilar stole her husband and, in a heated outburst, lays a curse on Pilar and her family.
More than forty years later, Lulu Muñoz is dodging chaos at every turn: her troubled father’s moods, his rules, her secret life as singer in a punk band, but most of all her upcoming quinceañera. When her beloved grandmother passes away, Lulu finds herself drawn to the glamorous stranger who crashed the funeral and who lives alone and shunned on the edge of town.
Their unexpected kinship picks at the secrets of Lulu’s family’s past. As the quinceañera looms—and we move between these two strong, irascible female voices—one woman must make peace with the past, and one girl pushes to embrace her future.
Rich with cinematic details—from dusty rodeos to the excitement of a Selena concert and the comfort of conjunto ballads played at family gatherings—this memorable debut is a love letter to the Tejano culture and community that sustain both of these women as they discover what family means.
