Por VENEGAS, SOCORRO
Imagine a girl searching for an absent, alcoholic father, a mother consumed by her empty pregnancy, and a woman fading into a memory of lost love. Socorro Venegas offers a moving, powerful, and precise voice. Her book is a heartbreaking account of a misplaced childhood, denied motherhood, and a distant memory of what was once desired. A reflection on solitude, the persecuted laughter of childhood, and the escape of a mother leaving behind a crib in the night.
