Originally published in 1969 but available only now
in English translation, this passionate novel by Mexican author and
journalist Poniatowska portrays the life story of Jesusa, a poor but
resourceful and independent woman in Mexico from the turn of the century
through the 1960's. A picaresque tale of survival and a critical look
at the Mexican Revolution, and at state and church corruption.
