CADA MITO, CADA HISTORIA, TIENE AL MENOS DOS VERSIONES... DEPENDIENDO DE QUIÉN CUENTA LA HISTORIA Y DE QUIÉN LA ESCUCHA.
Una original y arrolladora novela sobre dos hermanas que escapan de un genocidio, y el viaje que las lleva de Hollywood a París, y hasta el Cannery Row de California, perseguidas por los fantasmas de sus amigos asesinados, que no han acabado de contar sus historias.
El Salvador, 1923. Graciela, la segunda hija de Socorrito, una campesina oriunda de los cafetales de Izalco, vive en las faldas del volcán hasta que recibe un mensaje de la capital, donde es reclamada por el Gran Pendejo, el dictador que gobierna las mareas, les dice a los volcanes cuándo hacer erupción y le da forma a la luna. Ahí conoce a Consuelo, su hermana que fue raptada antes de que ella naciera. Ambas pasan años bajo la cruel sombra del sátrapa convertidas en sus oráculos. Pero cuando este ordena el genocidio de su comunidad, las hermanas no soportan el horror y escapan por separado, creyendo cada una que la otra ha muerto. Su huida las llevará por el mundo, a reinventarse con la esperanza de, quizá, reencontrarse algún día...
Sorprendente, rebosante de imaginación y de vida, Las hijas del volcán traza una nueva historia y mitología de El Salvador a través de voces que han quedado rezagadas por generaciones.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A searingly original debut about two sisters and their flight from genocide, each haunted by the ghosts of their murdered friends, who are not yet done telling their stories.
El Salvador, 1923. Graciela, a young girl growing up on a volcano in a community of Indigenous women, is summoned to the capital, where she is claimed as an oracle for a rising dictator. There she meets Consuelo, the sister she has never known, who was stolen from their home before Graciela was born. The two spend years under the cruel El Gran Pendejo's regime, unwillingly helping his reign of terror, until genocide strikes the community from which they hail. Each believing the other to be dead, they escape, fleeing across the globe, reinventing themselves until fate ultimately brings them back together in the most unlikely of ways
Vividly imaginative, Las hijas del volcán charts a new history and mythology of El Salvador, fiercely bringing forth voices that have been calling out for generations.
