Produktinformationen zu „The Ghost of Milagro Creek (ePub)“
A story of love, death, and mystery that "shimmers with the light and landscape of New Mexico" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
Ignacia Vigil Romero, a full Jicarilla Apache and a curandera-a medicine woman, though some say a witch-begins this tale of star-crossed lovers . . .
The two boys she raised in a barrio of Taos, New Mexico-a mixed community of Native Americans, Hispanics, and whites-Mister and Tomás, were best friends until their late teens. Then they both fell for Raquel, a.k.a. Rocky, a mysterious gringa from Santa Fe. Tomás takes the girl for himself, but in a moment of despair, a pledge between the young men leads to murder.
The story is taken over by police reports, witness statements, and caseworker interviews that, together, draw an electrifying portrait of a troubled community, and of the vulnerable players in this mounting tragedy. From a Whiting Award-winning author, set in a terrain that becomes a character in its own right, The Ghost of Milagro Creek brilliantly illuminates this hidden corner of American society, both a suspenseful drama and "a love story that unfolds in compelling and unexpected ways" (Joshilyn Jackson).
"A splendid novel, rich in character and landscape, daring in form and voice." -Robert Olen Butler
