“Gripping and spellbinding…Unforgettable.”—Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half • “Stunning…A sweeping yet intimate look at love, sisterhood, and resistance in the face of devastation.” —Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake • “A bilingual, mythological, and original debut about resistance and survival.” —Vulture
El Salvador, 1923. Graciela, a young girl growing up on a volcano in a community of Indigenous women, is summoned to the capital, where she is claimed as an oracle for a rising dictator. There she meets Consuelo, the sister she has never known, who was stolen from their home before Graciela was born. The two spend years under the cruel El Gran Pendejo’s regime, unwillingly helping his reign of terror, until genocide strikes the community from which they hail. Each believing the other to be dead, they escape, fleeing across the globe, reinventing themselves until fate ultimately brings them back together in the most unlikely of ways…
Endlessly surprising, vividly imaginative, bursting with lush life, The Volcano Daughters charts a new history and mythology of El Salvador, fiercely bringing forth voices that have been calling out for generations.
