Publisher Description
It is 1889, and civil war is brewing in Mexico. A 16-year-old girl, Teresita, the illegitimate but beloved daughter of the wealthy and powerful rancher Don Tomas Urrea, wakes from the strangest dream, a dream that she has died. Only it was not a dream. This passionate and rebellious young woman has arisen from death with the power to heal, but it will take all her faith to endure the trials that await her and her family now that she has become the "Saint of Cabora".
The Hummingbird's Daughter is a vast, hugely satisfying novel of love and loss, joy and pain. Two decades in the writing, this is the masterpiece that Luis Alberto Urrea has been building up to.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
This book was beautifully written and beautifully read. I found myself listening to it all the time instead of only in my car as I usually do, unable to stop listening. Crossing several genres of historical fiction, mystical stories and even family legends, this is a really great book.
Love the culture of the book!
Wonderful culture!!
brilliant
I was engulfed by this story for 3 months. The authors telling of this story is brilliant- I normally don't like historical/fiction but this book will stick with me for life.
