Description

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Xtabentum: A Novel of Yucatan tells the story of two young women from different worlds. Against the true historical background of rebellion and discrimination in 1920s Mexico, their lives are forever changed by a shocking event that exposes the deep-seated social injustices of the time. Amanda's sheltered existence is shattered when her friend Carmen, a Mayan Indian, is brutally whipped by a neighbour from her own class. This act of violence drives them apart and sets Amanda on a path of discovery and sacrifice. The story follows Amanda as she navigates the complexities of her own world, while also uncovering secrets about her family's past. As the years pass, a new generation becomes embroiled in the mystery of their family's history, leading to a thrilling combination of history, culture, and suspense that will keep you engaged until the very end.
