内容简介 在线阅读本书

Now available in paperback -- "Benítez's third novel seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account . . . beautifully illuminating." (Publishers Weekly starred review)

Sandra Benítez received international acclaim for her first two novels: A Place Where the Sea Remembers ("A quietly stunning work that leaves soft tracks in the heart" --Washington Post Book World) and Bitter Grounds ("The kind of book that fills your dreams for weeks" --Isabel Allende). Now she returns with an unforgettable tale of life in war-torn El Salvador.
作者简介 Sandra Benítez was born in Washington, D.C. and spent her childhood and early adulthood in Mexico and El Salvador. She then moved to the United States and received an undergraduate from Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman University). She published her first novel, A Place Where the Sea Remembers, when she was 52. It won the Barnes & Noble Discover Award, the Minnesota Book Award, and was a finalist for the Los Angles Times First Fiction Award.

Benítez' second novel, Bitter Grounds, won the Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award. Benítez is a past Keller Edelstein Distinguished Writer in Residence at the University of Minnesota and 2001 recipient of the Knapp Chair for the Humanities at the University of San Diego. She is also the winner of a Bush Foundation Fellowship in Fiction. She is a gifted speaker and, when her writing schedule permits, lectures for universities and other organizations. She lives with her husband in Edina, Minnesota where she is currently working on her fourth novel, Night of the Radishes, set in Minnesota and Oaxaca, Mexico.
