Beschreibung

<b>A searingly original debut about two sisters and their flight from genocide—which takes them from Hollywood to Paris to San Francisco’s Cannery Row—each haunted along the way by the ghosts of their murdered friends, who are not yet done telling their stories<br><br>“Epic…[Balibrera] is a gifted new storyteller with a nose for history and a prodigious imagination.” —<i>The New York Times</i></b><br><br><i>El Salvador, 1923</i>. 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…<br><br>Endlessly surprising, vividly imaginative, bursting with lush life, <i>The Volcano Daughters </i>charts a new history and mythology of El Salvador, fiercely bringing forth voices that have been calling out for generations.
