Bøker av Martha Egan

A collection of seven short stories that transcends the limits of regionalism. It includes the stories: ""Carnales"", ""Mutt"", ""Time Circles"", ""Guapo"", ""La Ranfla"", and ""Granny"". In ""Carnales"", a grudge lasting generations ends with a standoff in a village cemetery. In ""Mutt"", the unruly dog helps a young silversmith learn to stand her ground.

Nena Herrera-Casey is the coyota, the youngest, in her large Mexican-American family. Her life in Albuquerque seems placid enough, teaching Spanish part-time at the University and selling handicrafts imported from south-of-the-border at the flea market. But Nena has nightmares, vivid, chilling, violent and recurring.

Albuquerque importer Beverly Parmentier finds herself under surveillance. She isn't paranoid; she is being watched. She has no criminal ties, no arrest record. Is her Latin American folk art import business, a one-person foreign aid program, truly suspicious?
