Una liturgia común
The focus of this novel is a personal and political tragedy that takes place in Boca Grande, an imaginary Central American state dominated by political corruption, the distribution of power among members of the same family, arms trafficking, and conspiracy. The narrator, Grace Strasser-Mendana, is the American widow of the most powerful man in Boca Grande, and she controls a large part of the country’s wealth and knows practically all of its secrets. Grace is also an anthropologist who attempts to find scientific answers for the mysteries of human behavior. She tries to give voice to Charlotte Douglas’s passage through Boca Grande, an upper-class Californian woman who is ignorant to the extremes of innocence and who seems oblivious to the dangerous scenery in which she finds herself, leading her to an unfortunate end foretold from the very first chapter of the novel. El enfoque de esta novela es una tragedia personal y política que ocurre en Boca Grande, un imaginario estado centroamericano dominado por la corrupción política, el reparto del poder entre los miembros de una misma familia, el tráfico de armas y la conspiración. La narradora, Grace Strasser-Mendana, es la viuda americana del hombre más poderoso de Boca Grande, controla buena parte de la riqueza del país y conoce prácticamente todos sus secretos. Grace es además una antropóloga que intenta encontrar respuestas científicas a los misterios del comportamiento humano, y trata de dar testimonio del paso por Boca Grande de Charlotte Douglas, una californiana de clase alta que es ignorante hasta la inocencia y que parece no darse cuenta del peligroso escenario en el que se mueve, encaminándose a un fin anunciado desde el primer capítulo de la novela.
