Un vortice de gravedad que condensa toda la literatura de Brenda Lozano, donde conviven lo oral y lo escrito, las tradiciones populares y cierta perspectiva cosmopolita, el humor y la tragedia. Una inyeccion de electricidad, una musica que se sigue escuchando mucho mas alla de sus paginas. -Mauro Libertella
Paloma esta muerta. Ha sido asesinada. Pero antes de ser Paloma, su nombre fue Gaspar. Antes de ser Paloma, Gaspar hacia ceremonias para curar a la gente, pero desde que se convirtio en Paloma, se dedico a la vida nocturna con los hombres. Prefirio el amor a la purificacion.
Fue ella quien enseno a Feliciana todo lo que sabe sobre la curanderia. Con este aprendizaje, Feliciana descubre que, ademas de curar el cuerpo, tambien puede curar el alma. Pronto sus poderes seran conocidos en todas partes y personas de todo el mundo la visitaran para sanarse. Ella se convertira en la curandera de El Lenguaje. Por otro lado, la periodista Zoe decide visitar a Feliciana al pueblo de San Felipe para descubrir no solo la verdad sobre el asesinato, sino tambien la vida de la curandera. Y en ese mismo tenor, construira su propio relato.
Brujas es una historia de tradiciones, sanaciones, violencia y, sobre todo, de la importancia del lenguaje; una novela maravillosamente escrita.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
[…] A vortex of gravity that condenses all of Brenda Lozano’s literature, where the oral and the written coexist, popular traditions and a certain cosmopolitan perspective, humor and tragedy. An injection of electricity, a music that continues to be heard far beyond its pages.
Paloma is dead. She’s been murdered. But before she was Paloma, her name was Gaspar. Before she was Paloma, Gaspar performed ceremonies to cure people, but since she became Paloma, she dedicated herself to the nightlife with men. She preferred love over purification.
It was she who taught Feliciana everything she knows about healing. With this apprenticeship, Feliciana discovers that, besides healing the body she can also heal the soul. Soon her powers will be known everywhere and people from all over the world will visit her to be healed. She will become the healer of The Language. On the other hand, journalist Zoe decides to visit Feliciana to the town of San Felipe to discover not only the truth about the murder, but also the life of the healer. And along the same lines, she will build her own story.
Witches is a story of traditions, healing, violence, and, above all, the importance of language; A wonderfully written novel.
