Description
In a dramatic new work, novelist Graciela Limon tells a story of forbidden loves: A tale that spans across the twentieth century, across the Southwest from Mexico to Los Angeles, across skin colors, across the sexes, across religious boundaries, across life and death, and across four generations of a family named Betancourt. Among its members: Don Flavio, who believes that chance may win one a fortune, but only ruthlessness can hold onto it . . . His secretive sister, Brigida . . . And his beautiful, golden-haired daughter Isadora, who refuses to submit to her father's dictates, however terrible the cost to her - and everyone around her. Behind them all stands the silent brown figure of the Indian runner Jeronimo Santiago, one of the Tarahumara Indians who work upon Flavio's hacienda. Though they may wish to deny it, the Betancourts are pursued by Jeronimo - even in death - to the deepest, most hidden recesses of family memory.
