Summary: Post-Revolutionary Mexico Under Scrutiny
Review: Elena Poniatowska's new novel achieves the remarkable: it presents, in a very few pages, a rather in-depth look at Mexican society following the Second World War, doing so not as dry commentary but purely in terms of the personal. Ashby Egbert, scion of one of Mexico's most privileged families, accidentally touches a high-tension wire and as a result spends two years in various hospitals, in one of which he comes in contact with a part of Mexico which he has never seen before. This is only the beginning of his interior change, one which the reader follows avidly page by page. Poniatowska, as usual, utilizes an extensive vocabulary and elegant writing style to create characters one can never forget and invites the reader into aspects of her country's social fabric which bear closer scrutiny. This is not light reading. It has all the marks of a book that will last.
