Viac o knihe

Set in a picturesque valley in northern New Mexico, the story revolves around the Baca family, who are respected patrons of the village of Rociada. Through the eyes of young Pino, readers experience poignant tales of disillusionment, cultural customs, and humorous incidents that reflect the community's life. However, the narrative also captures the gradual decline of this traditional way of life as modernity and tourism encroach upon Rociada, transforming it into a memory. The book is cherished as a regional classic, resonating with the changes in Santa Fe and the Southwest.
