"Knowing a little background about the 1980's political situation in El Salvador will enrich your appreciation of this book. In this story, an American woman gives shelter to and falls in love with a refugee. A good companion book set in El Salvador would be "One Day of Life" by Manlio Argueta."
"Demetria Martinez is going to be my workshop instructor at the Wm. Joiner Center, so I was happy to be able to read a couple of her books in anticipation. This novel became more compelling to me the longer I read, as the young Chicana protagonist matures in spite of herself in the process of loving & losing a Salvadoran refugee being sheltered by the Sanctuary movement in the early 1980s. The story gains surprising depth & resonance--as I finished I felt exalted.
Martinez is a wonderful poet: "As the twin steeples of San Rafael pierced the sky and more hot air leaked into the world, the old men of the area flocked to benches on the plaza, their canes feeling the turf in front of them like trunks of elephants."
