Synopsis

A través de cien montañas es un relato asombroso y conmovedor de migración, pérdida y hallazgo; de cómo dos mujeres -- una nacida en México y la otra en los Estados Unidos -- encuentran que sus vidas coinciden de la manera más improbable.

Luego de una tragedia que la separa de su madre, Juana García abandona su pueblo en México para encontrar a su padre que había dejado casa y familia dos años antes para buscar trabajo en los Estados Unidos.

Sin dinero y necesitada de que alguien la ayudara a cruzar la frontera, Juana conoce a Adelina Vásquez, una joven que dejó a su familia en California para seguir a su amante a México. Al encontrarse en circunstancias desesperadas -- en una cárcel de Tijuana -- se ofrecen mutua ayuda y sus vidas terminan entrelazadas de la manera más inesperada.

El fenómeno de la migración mexicana a los Estados Unidos es uno de los problemas más controvertidos de nuestro tiempo. Si bien se debaten con frecuencia sus implicaciones políticas y económicas, Grande, en esta obra brillante, logra ponerle un rostro humano al tema. ¿Quiénes son los hombres, mujeres y niños cuya existencia se ve afectada por las fuerzas que impulsan a tantos a arriesgar la vida y cruzar la frontera en busca de un mundo mejor?

Siga su trayectoria A través de cien montañas y compruébelo.

More like 3.5 stars.... I enjoyed the topic and really felt like the author did an exceptional job with the emotional aspect to this story. I think the concept of switching between the characters and then one character becomes the other was very interesting, but I found it to be confusing. Especiall......more

Hjärtskärande sorglig berättelse om fattigdom, migration, familj och identitet. Amás desperation gick rakt in i hjärtat. Hur många historier som denna har utspelat sig i verkligheten? Spännande och lättläst utan att kännas för enkel. Läsvärd!......more
