En medio del campo petroliÌfero, pocos minutos antes del amanecer, Glory RamiÌrez, de catorce anÌos, logra sacar fuerzas para escapar de su agresor. Atraviesa el campo entre alambres de puÌas, restos de tuberiÌas rotas y matojos de mezquite hasta llegar a la puerta de Mary Rose Whitehead, cuya vida se ve irremediablemente trastocada no soÌlo por la crueldad de la que ha sido viÌctima la ninÌa -bien podriÌa ser su hija- sino por los hechos subsecuentes, que se suman a los relatos de violencia e injusticia cotidianas que por generaciones han sufrido las mujeres de su pueblo. MaÌs allaÌ de describir el contexto histoÌrico de un pueblo surenÌo, Elizabeth Wetmore nos ofrece un potente debut literario que explora los liÌmites del ser humano. Una novela coral extraordinariamente escrita que nos lleva por las entranÌas de las mujeres que la protagonizan.--Back cover. 520 $a It is Valentine's Day in 1976 and the town of Odessa, Texas, is on the cusp of an oil boom. In the middle of the oil field, a few minutes before dawn, fourteen-year-old Glory RamÌrez manages to draw up the strength to escape from her attacker. She crosses the field between barbed wire, the remains of broken pipes and mesquite bushes until she reaches the door of Mary Rose Whitehead, whose life is irretrievably disrupted not only by the cruelty of which the girl has been the victim -- It could well be her daughter -- but because of the subsequent events, which add to the daily stories of violence and injustice that the women of her town have suffered for generations. Beyond describing the historical context of a southern town, Elizabeth Wetmore tells us offers a powerful literary debut that explores the limits of the human being. An extraordinarily written choral novel that takes us through the entrails of the women who star in it.-- Back cover. 546 $a Text in Spanish 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z Texas $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vigilantes $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Odessa (Tex.) $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Lauzardo Ugarte, Aurora, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210505010125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C08575EAD6711EBBB9470C722ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
