Deceptively fresh and innocent, this book is really a hair-raising and rowdy venture from start to finish, by a woman who turns the commonplace into pure magic. And the not so commonplace: a drug bust, the Kennedy assassination, a climb to the crater of Paricutin volcano, Acapulco in the 50s. This is a younger Mexico, trying to find its way. It is also an indictment of cruelty and indifference, a book about dogs, children, love of nature. A sense of wonder and a surprise on every page.
