Description
Raised in an all-female household in the rural Mexican province of Tabasco, Delmira Ulloa grows up surrounded by women who shape her world even as they limit it. As she moves from girlhood into adulthood, she confronts the stories behind her own origins—especially the mystery of a missing stranger who may have fathered her—and begins to question what she has been taught to accept. With each new relationship and decision, Delmira tests the boundaries of loyalty, desire, and self-definition, ultimately choosing allegiances that demand both courage and consequence. Blending the intimacy of a female Bildungsroman with Carmen Boullosa’s incisive, lyrical storytelling, the novel explores identity, inheritance, and feminist awakening in a landscape where the past refuses to stay buried.
