Barcelona, Spain: Vergara, 2006. "Gardenias on the balcony" is a story of the power of love that surmounts all cultural differences, taboos and prejudices; it is also about the survival of passion between a Mexican woman and a man from the United States. If, in "A Mexican Wedding" Sandra Sabanero provides the reader with an insight into the conditions under which women in her country have to live, then in "Gardenias on the balcony" she uncovers corruption, religious prejudices and class conceit, imbedded in a unique and unforgettable love story. Mescala is a small Mexican village. However, the facade of this ideal world conceals abysses and all human vices. That is where Rebecca and her brother Ezequiel grow up. When their father is wrongly accused of a crime, the family unit collapses and each is forced to fight for survival. While Rebecca is keen to and busy with completing her studies, she meets the love of her life: Patrick Pettegrew. The prejudices within the families on both sides of the border are that distinct that they deliver a fatal blow to the relationship. Text in Spanish. 406 pgs. Dustjacket in mylar.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
