Description
Four sisters, once five, now tell their story. Their cuentos are woven into the fabric of their lives, a testament to the bonds that remain even in the face of violence and loss. Graciela's world is turned upside down when she is chosen to work as an oracle for El Salvador's dictator, forced to leave behind her mother and friends. In the city, she meets Consuelo, a girl who embodies both beauty and danger. As they navigate the brutal regime, their lives are forever changed by the events of La Matanza, a massacre that will haunt them and their country. A haunting narrative told through the voices of ghostly girls who have died but not yet finished telling their story, The Volcano Daughters is a powerful exploration of resilience, reinvention, and sisterhood.
