Synopsis "Ladydi (in Spanish)"

Libro en que se basa la película, Noche de Fuego / Prayers for the Stolen , selección de México para la edición 94 (2022) de los Premios Oscar. Quién habla es Ladydi García Martínez, una chiquilla de ojos color café que vive en las montañas de Guerrero; una tierra sin maridos, sin padres y casi sin hermanos porque todos se han ido a buscar fortuna al otro lado y ninguno se ha molestado en volver. Ése es el lugar donde lo mejor que le puede ocurrir a una niña es nacer fea, porque en cuanto los narcos tienen noticia de que una joven hermosa anda por ahí, acuden como buitres en busca de su presa. Ése es el pueblo donde ya nadie le reza a Dios porque ni de él se fían. Pese a todo, en ese infierno Ladydi crece rodeada de amigas que sueñan con un futuro más esperanzador que el mero sentido de sobrevivencia, y al lado de una madre entrañable capaz de robar, maldecir y reír cuando le viene en gana. Así, Jennifer Clement nos lleva a un lugar donde confluyen el humor y la desesperación, y las mujeres enfrentan las tragedias con solidaridad y dignidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the movie Prayers for the Stolen, Mexico's selection for the 94th Academy Awards (Oscars 2022) Ladydi Garcia Martínez is fierce, funny and smart. She was born into a world where being a girl is a dangerous thing. In the mountains of Guerrero, Mexico, women must fend for themselves, as their men have left to seek opportunities elsewhere. Here in the shadow of the drug war, bodies turn up on the outskirts of the village to be taken back to the earth by scorpions and snakes. School is held sporadically, when a volunteer can be coerced away from the big city for a semester. In Guerrero the drug lords are kings, and mothers disguise their daughters as sons, or when that fails they "make them ugly" - cropping their hair, blackening their teeth- anything to protect them from the rapacious grasp of the cartels. And when the black SUVs roll through town, Ladydi and her friends burrow into holes in their backyards like animals, tucked safely out of sight. While her mother waits in vain for her husband's return, Ladydi and her friends dream of a future that holds more promise than mere survival, finding humor, solidarity and fun in the face of so much tragedy. When Ladydi is offered work as a nanny for a wealthy family in Acapulco, she seizes the chance, and finds her first taste of love with a young caretaker there. But when a local murder tied to the cartel implicates a friend, Ladydi's future takes a dark turn. Despite the odds against her, this spirited heroine's resilience and resolve bring hope to otherwise heartbreaking conditions. An illuminating and affecting portrait of women in rural Mexico, and a stunning exploration of the hidden consequences of an unjust war, PRAYERS FOR THE STOLEN is an unforgettable story of friendship, family, and determination.

El libro llegó rápido y en buen estado, sólo no me gustó que trae pegada una calcomanía muy grande en la portada sobre la película Noche de Fuego basada en el libro (amé la película, pero me gusta ver mis libros limpios, soy algo obsesiva). Por lo demás todo muy bien.

Llegó en tiempo y forma. La pasta traía una calcomanía pegada que la dejó llena de pegamento al retirar la estampa.
