| Details: |
Year earlier, Gabo's mother was killed in the borderlands between Mexico in the U.S., and her organs sold on the black market. Now his father, Rafa, has gone missing, and the deeply religious Gabo, his virgin aunt Regina, a history teacher, and an old blind man named Milton try to find out what has happened. Set in the sizzling heat and political tension of the U.S. and Mexico border, THE GUARDIANS is both lyrical and gritty in its portrayal of a culture and a people in a state of crisis. |
