Mujer De Luz / Woman Of Light (Spanish Edition)

De la galardonada autora de Sabrina y Corina nos llega una saga familiar sobre traición, amor y fe, magníficamente documentada y de una imaginación deslumbrante, desarrollada en el oeste de Estados Unidos. 1890. Cuando Desiderya Lopez, la Profeta Somnolienta, encuentra a un niño abandonado a la orilla de un arroyo, reconoce algo en su espíritu y lo lleva a casa con ella. Pidre se convertirá en un famoso showman en el oeste anglosajón, cuyo acto principal será su esposa, la temeraria francotiradora Simodecea. 1935. Luz "Little Light" Lopez y su hermano, Diego, trabajan en el circuito de carnavales del centro de Denver. Luz lee el té y Diego encanta serpientes. Un día, una mujer de rostro pálido, vestida con pieles blancas, le pide una lectura a Luz, llamándola por un nombre que solo su hermano conoce. Tiempo después, en una fiesta en el centro, el romance entre Diego y esa mujer de rostro pálido termina en una pelea con un grupo local de supremacistas blancos. Diego se va de la ciudad para ocultarse y Luz se queda intentando obtener justicia para su hermano y su familia. Al mezclar dos tramas multigeneracionales en Colorado, esta es una novela de amor familiar, de secretos y supervivencia. Con la inmensa capacidad que tiene Fajardo-Anstine de crear personajes y pintar experiencias vívidas, Mujer de luz --desarrollada en la sierra de la Sangre de Cristo-- está llena del peso, la riqueza y las complejidades de la sangre mestiza y el barro de mica. Deleita como un viejo western y nos inspira la esperanza imbuida en historias aún no contadas.
