A young woman's struggle through life,
By Kristen (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tristana (Easy Readers Series B/Spanish) (Paperback)
This book is about a young woman who must now try and survive with her deceased father's closest friend Don Lope. This older gentlemen takes her in and treats her well. Well, that is until he rapes her. Tristana becomes emotionally confused with her new father-figure/companion. She trys to gain his love but all she sees is a paternal figure. Tristana then meets an handsome young man of her age and they are in love. When Tristana tells this man, Horacio, of her lack of virginity, he realizes that the two could not be married. (Since the book is based in the 1920's...being dishonored was horrible). They do in fact consumate the relationship. Before things can get any further, Tristana developes a sickness that forces her to loose her leg. But who will stand vidgil over her bed?...the one she loves to hate...or the man she loves?... Read to find out! This book is an easy read for teenagers who are or understand the spanish language. It shows some real experiences that can make for interesting conversation.
