Description
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION " ...] A vortex of gravity that condenses all of Brenda Lozano's literature, where the oral and the written coexist, popular traditions and a certain cosmopolitan perspective, humor and tragedy. An injection of electricity, a music that continues to be heard far beyond its pages."
Paloma is dead. She's been murdered. But before she was Paloma, her name was Gaspar. Before she was Paloma, Gaspar performed ceremonies to cure people, but since she became Paloma, she dedicated herself to the nightlife with men. She preferred love over purification. It was she who taught Feliciana everything she knows about healing. With this apprenticeship, Feliciana discovers that, besides healing the body she can also heal the soul. Soon her powers will be known everywhere and people from all over the world will visit her to be healed. She will become the healer of The Language. On the other hand, journalist Zo decides to visit Feliciana to the town of San Felipe to discover not only the truth about the murder, but also the life of the healer. And along the same lines, she will build her own story. Witches is a story of traditions, healing, violence, and, above all, the importance of language; A wonderfully written novel.
