Melocotones Helados

Summary: No era lo que esperaba
Review: ¿Porque no era lo que esperaba? Leí Melocotones Helados como parte de requisito de mi clase de Literatura, y como otras obras que he tenido que leer, creia que me iba a aburrir. Pero no fue así, quizas en la libreria hubiese pasado de largo si veia Melocotones Helados en el anaquel. Me hubiese perdido de una tremenda y fascinante historia de un personaje el cual me identifique mucho como mujer. Espero lo disfruten...

Summary: Life goes in circles so we might find ourselves again
Review: There are two cousins (Big Elsa and Small Elsa). They share the same name in memory of her aunt who died when she was very young. One is an artist (Big Elsa) which is quite grounded and the other (Small Elsa) lacks a purpose in life. Out of that condition, becomes a member of a sect, and as expected from that type of congregations, ends up becoming a sex slave and losing the little sense of self she still haves within her. However, out of that vacuum she becomes aware of the falsehood of those persons who sorround her and scapes deciding to confront her oppresors, denouncing them to the Courts. Out of the confussion cased by the identical name, the cousin also becomes a target for the members of the sect. Situation which forces her to scape her town and all that is familiar to her. Frustrated also because it was not clear to her why was she being prosecuted, making her escape sort of ridiculous before others and herself.

Knotted on this framework, the novel also goes back in time to explore how the grandfather of the cousins, was displaced externally and internally from those aspects of his life that were dear to him, and how for every one of us, no matter how well we can remake our life after a loss, we can not exclude it from what we are and what we will become and how, either we want it or not, we pass that loss upon our succesors.
