When she was young, Flor had been sent to work as a maid for a family in Boston. There she befriended the family's only child, Roger Graetz. While trying to uncover the facts surrounding Flor's death, Roger recounts the elaborate events of his family life, giving us an engrossing and colorful picture of American and Guatemalan culture. Flor is an appealing character whom the author uses successfully to ignite our curiosity about Guatemalan culture and reflections on our own private lives. | ||
