La mundialmente aclamada autora de La casa en Mango Street, y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2019, nos brinda un relato profundamente conmovedor acerca de la perdida, el duelo y la sanacion: una fabula para adultos liricamente narrada y vividamente ilustrada sobre una mujer que busca un gato extraviado tras la muerte de su madre.

La palabra huerfana no pareceria aplicarse a una mujer de cincuenta y tres anos de edad. Sin embargo, asi es exactamente como se siente Sandra al encontrarse sin madre, sola como un guante abandonado en la estacion de autobuses . Lo que pudiera salvarla es la busqueda de algo mas que se ha perdido: Maria, la gatita blanquinegra de su amiga, Rosi, que se largo el dia en que ellas dos llegaron desde Tacoma. A medida que Sandra y Rosi peinan las calles de San Antonio-preguntando por todas partes y poniendo volantes-?Has visto a Maria? hace gala de la habilidad de esta querida autora de contar cuentos llenos de magia, en un relato que nos recuerda como el amor, aun cuando desaparece, no se pierde por siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The internationally acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a woman’s search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother’s death.

The word orphan might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like a glove left behind at the bus station. What just might save her is her search for someone else gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of her friend, Roz, who ran off the day they arrived from Tacoma. As Sandra and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, Have you seen Marie? the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life, Have You Seen Marie? showcases a beloved author’s storytelling magic, in a tale that reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever.
