Summary

Un clásico de la espiritualidad.
 
Hay novelas que parecen leyendas, y la historia de las dos ancianas que vivieron en las heladas tierras de Alaska tiene el sabor de esas antiguas enseñanzas que los hijos reciben de boca de sus padres en las largas noches de invierno.
 
Érase una vez dos ancianas que fueron abandonadas y condenadas a morir de frío e inanición. Tras el desconcierto inicial, el espíritu de supervivencia se impuso y, olvidados sus achaques, las dos decidieron luchar para vencer la muerte. Así descubrieron cualidades que les permitieron salvar la vida y saberse mejores frente a sí mismas y frente a los demás.
 
Con palabras sencillas, Velma Wallis nos regala una fábula que viene del frío pero conserva la calidez de un mensaje espiritual que busca y encuentra amor en los gestos más humildes y en las voces más sinceras.
 
«Tras leer estas páginas, me sentí mejor persona.» —Ursula K. Le Guin

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This story of survival is told with suspense by Velma Wallis, whose subject matter challenges the taboos of her past. Yet, her themes are modern —empowerment of women, the graying of America, growing interest in Native American ways.

Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along from mother to daughter for many generations on the upper Yukon River in Alaska, this is the tragic and shocking story —with a surprise ending— of two elderly women abandoned by a migrating tribe that faces starvation brought on by unusually harsh Arctic weather and a shortage of fish and game.
