Beschreibung:
A riveting novel from acclaimed author Kathleen Alcalá, this second edition of The Flower in the Skull, from Raven Chronicles Press, begins in the Sonoran Desert in the late 19th century, where an Ópata village is attacked by Mexican soldiers. Her family scattered, Concha makes her way to Tucson, where the stories she tells her daughter lead to Shelly-a troubled Latina in modern-day Los Angeles, increasingly fascinated by her ancestry. A powerful tale of heritage, loss, and acculturation, Alcalá spins her most lyrical and moving work yet.
When I wrote The Flower in the Skull, I was afraid it would be more of a memorial to my ancestors than the revealing / revelation of a living people. I grew up knowing we were part Indian on my mother's side, but nothing more. "Well," I thought as I concluded work on the book, "at least I tried to document who we are, why the history of a people can be so wonderful and terrible at the same time." Then I moved on to my next book.
