Dolores y Jacinta son cuñadas y viven distintas penas. La primera, no tener un lugar claro en el corazón de su marido ni una vida sencilla rodeada de tantos hijos; la segunda, el hueco de la maternidad y la tristeza a cuestas. Será entonces Inés, una de las hijas de Dolores, la que ponga la balanza y decida los destinos, los amores y las pérdidas no sólo de esas mujeres, sino la de todos los habitantes.
Raíces del mal sucede en Sarabia, Guanajuato, un pueblo que podría ser cualquier otro, donde los rencores quedan afianzados en la tierra, en el que las historias se van enredando con supersticiones cuando esas raíces se tocan las unas a las otras y la realidad queda suspendida entre velos de maldad o mera coincidencia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“With agile prose full of captivating images, Paola G. Gasca draws us into a family riddled with wounds and seemingly incapable of redemption, where the living coexist with the cruel memory of their dead, and evil is also embodied in the most vulnerable family member.” —Laura Baeza
A black-and-white photograph. A girl. A village.
Dolores and Jacinta are sisters-in-law that suffer from different kinds of pain. The first one does not have a clear place in her husband's heart nor a simple life surrounded by so many children; the second suffers from the void of motherhood and sadness. It will be Inés, one of Dolores' daughters, who will tip the balance and decide the destinies, loves and losses not only of these women, but of all the inhabitants.
Raíces del mal (Roots of Evil) takes place in a village where grudges are deeply rooted in the land, where stories become entangled with superstitions when those roots touch each other and reality is suspended between veils of evil or mere coincidence.
