Set in the fictional Latin American town of Palomar, this book is part of The Hernandez Brothers legendary Love and Rockets series, which focuses on the inter-twined lives of a group of Mexican American women. Love and Rockets is a body of work routinely praised for its realism, complexity, subtlety and ethnic authenticity. It was the first comic series to give a voice to minorities and women in the medium's then 50-year history. One of the hidden treasures of our impoverished culture. --The Nation
