| Resumen: |
The novel begins with Abel returning to his hometown of Walatowa (Jemez) after the war, emotionally affected and struggling with alcoholism. He struggles to adapt to traditional life and becomes involved in violent situations, including the death of a man in an altercation. The novel explores his relationship with his grandfather, Francisco, who represents wisdom and a connection to the land and traditions. As Francisco falls ill and dies, Abel takes on the responsibility of caring for him and preparing him for burial, leading him to reconnect with his roots through traditional rituals and songs. The novel also shows the influence of characters such as Angela St. John and Ben Benally, who represent different aspects of the Indigenous experience and relationship with the outside world. In the end, Abel, by participating in a traditional dawn race, finds a way to reconcile with his past and find a sense of belonging in his community. |
