Descripción: On the fifth decade of the sixteenth century, the Llorona was executed at Mexico´s Main Plaza for vthe murder of her children. Afther the execution, the murderer mother returned from the valley of death to weep for the horrifying crime. ”Oh, my children, my poor, unfortunate children!”, she yelled out at the plazas, markets, tree-lined avenues, crossroads, cellars, and attics. Rumor has it that she´s possessed by the goddess Cihuacoatl, Lucifer of hell.
The secret that is today uncovered in its totality in a blood-curdling, lucid manner, by the extraordinary Mexican novelist Juan Trigos, to the point that it touches the peak of terror, was concealed for more than four hundred years, Juan Trigos brings this legend alive in a story that combines the most exquisite feelings whit the most bitter truths. Fort he first time since the dramatic events occurred, we are masterly presented with the life, deaths, and resurrections of the Llorona, who, according to Trigos, surfaces to reality not precisely as a shadow or immaterial ghost, but as a heavy, three dimensional being blessed with a tongue, heart, teeth, hair, and Good God!, with a bereaved voice seized with a supernatural clamor.
Root, live heart, tradition, a major mysterious legend, at last the Llorona comes to life in a work that is moving and ferocious, delicate and abrupt, well researched and genuinely popular; work thet uncovers what remained hidden for so long, revealing details, atrocious events of unimportance that give meaningg to her story.
