Woman of Endurance, A Indomita (Spanish Edition) Audiobook Summary
El poder inolvidable de Beloved de Toni Morrison y la atmosfera evocativa de A Respectable Trade de Phillippa Gregory se combinan en esta revolucionaria novela de Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, que ilustra un aspecto poco conocido de la historia -el comercio transatlantico de personas esclavizadas en Puerto Rico- narrado a traves de la experiencia de Pola, una cautiva africana utilizada como paridora de esclavos.
Pola, una mujer esclavizada en el Puerto Rico del siglo XIX ha sido forzada a vivir en el mundo brutalmente inhumano de las paridoras de esclavos. Golpeada y violada repetidamente, sus bebes le son arrebatados en el momento de nacer para no volver a verlos jamas. Despues de un intento de fuga y una golpiza despiadada, despierta en una nueva plantacion, Las Mercedes, para formar parte de su diversa comunidad negra. Pero su pasado la persigue en este nuevo hogar. ?Podra una mujer sobrepasar la desconfianza y la amargura? Aun cuando sobrevive a un mundo salvaje, ?podra volver a entablar relaciones normales o alcanzar un sentido saludable de su propia valia?
Los lectores acompanaran a Pola en su viaje hacia la sanacion. De la sadica barbarie de sus experiencias iniciales,pasa a recibir compasion y apoyo de parte de una nueva comunidad revitalizante. En el camino, aprendera a reconocer y aceptar las muchas caras del amor: el amor de madre, el amor de hija, el amor de hermana, el amor de la comunidad, y el amor propio, que debe recuperar antes de poder ofrecerse a otra persona. Indomita es una novela en la que el espiritu humano triunfa aun en las condiciones mas brutales.
