Notes

General Note
Translation of: Valentine.
Description
Es el día de San Valentín del año 1976 y el pueblo de Odessa, Texas, está en la cúspide de un boom petrolero. En medio del campo petrolífero, pocos minutos antes del amanecer, Glory Ramírez, de catorce años, logra sacar fuerzas para escapar de su agresor. Atraviesa el campo entre alambres de púas, restos de tuberías rotas y matojos de mezquite hasta llegar a la puerta de Mary Rose Whitehead, cuya vida se ve irremediablemente trastocada no sólo por la crueldad de la que ha sido víctima la niña -bien podría 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. Más allá de describir el contexto histórico de un pueblo sureño, Elizabeth Wetmore nos ofrece un potente debut literario que explora los límites del ser humano. Una novela coral extraordinariamente escrita que nos lleva por las entrañas de las mujeres que la protagonizan.--Back cover.
Description
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 Ram̕rez 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.
