Jessica M. Guel: Decent People, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Martha Consuelos unexpectedly returns to her mother's house, a place that's all damage, to finish high school, all eyes are upon her: not least those of her neighbour and classmate, Omar, who finds himself utterly transfixed.

Descended from a line of brilliant women, including her great-grandmother, Ana Quintero, an infamous revolutionarysoldadera , Martha is a gifted student who dares to dream big, and to question the systems that stand in her way

Over the course of a year, Martha and Omar will become closer than close, and it's through his eyes that a multi-generational saga unfolds and we come to understand the way old forces, and the tangled history of the US and Mexico, lead Martha, like Ana before her, to a tragic end.
