' Extraordinary . . . deeply felt and beautifully told' ObserverIt is 1889. Civil war is brewing in Mexico, and sixteen-year-old Teresita has just woken from the strangest dream - a dream that she has died. Only it was not a dream. This passionate and rebellious young woman has arisen from death with a power to heal - but it will take all her faith to endure the trials that await her and her family now that she has become the Saint of Cabora. The Hummingbird' s Daughter is the story of a girl and a country grappling with their destiny. Two decades in the writing, the result is an epic, dazzling novel of love and loss, joy and sacrifice.
Dreamy, telegraphic and lyrical . . . these 500 pages slip past effortlessly * New York Times * Astonishing . . . effervescent storytelling * Publisher' s Weekly, starred review *
