About the Book

Un secreto ancestral, la vida de dos mujeres que se entrecruzan, la historia de un país y sus guerras.

Desde la oscuridad del desierto, una mujer rarámuri anuncia a Helena que su hija, desaparecida años atrás, regresará. Por otro lado, esa misma mañana Julia, absorta en una serie de destierros personales, sufre un accidente automovilístico sobre la carretera.

Mientras su esposo recibe los restos de quien cree que es su mujer, Julia es escondida a la orilla de la carretera en un jacal. A partir de jirones de memoria, de un cuerpo que oscila entre la vida y la muerte, ella deambula inconsciente entre una serie de voces e historias que la conforman, de decisiones que distorsionaron el sentido de su vida.

Por su parte, Helena encarna los destierros de la historia del siglo XX mexicano, sucesos que quedaron al margen de la historia oficial. A través del delirante recuento de sus relatos, cobran vida cuatro generaciones de mujeres, las otras revoluciones mexicanas, los migrantes, la violencia, el país de los desaparecidos, la impunidad y la demencia.

Destierros es un cruce de narrativas, pero también de esos otros cuerpos que somos nosotros. Gabriela Riveros nos sube a la barca con su estilo poético y su maravillosa pluma, para que recorramos nuestros propios exilios y geografías al lado de sus personajes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An ancestral secret, the lives of two women who meet, the history of a country and its wars.

From the darkness of the desert, a Raramuri woman announces to Helena that her daughter, who disappeared years ago, will return. That same morning, Julia, absorbed in a series of personal banishments, has a car accident on the highway.

While her husband receives the remains of the woman he believes to be his wife, Julia is hidden in a shack on the side of the highway. Through shards of memory, in a body that wavers between life and death, she wanders between a series of voices and stories; of decisions that distort the sense of her life.

For her part, Helena personifies the exiles of the history of 20th-century Mexico, events that stayed on the edge of the official history. Through the outrageous retelling of her tales, we see four generations of women, other Mexican revolutions, migrants, violence, the country of "the disappeared," impunity, and dementia.

Exiles is a crossing of narratives, but we see ourselves in those other bodies. Gabriela Riveros gets us on board with her poetic style and marvelous writing, so that we review our own exiles and geography alongside her characters.
