La mujer de la guarda
by Sara Bertrand, Alejandra Algorta
Description
Jacinta wants to know how her mother is able to breathe inside the coffin, but her aunts tell her it’s better if she concentrates in taking care of her brothers. Jacinta remembers some things about her mum, like the sound of the spoon in the cup when she stirred the milk until it was smooth. When her father arrives early, Jacinta and her brothers eat together and laugh at dessert time when he draws milk toffees and chewing gum from behind their ears. Jacinta is a weirdo in a world where other children have a mother. Jacinta has no guardian angel, but a woman traveling on a blue horse watches over her.
