La saga de los Aragón

Rate this book
Tirana memoria relata la historia de Haydée, escrita de su puño y letra en el diario que teje y desteje mientras espera a que su marido, Pericles Aragón, salga de la cárcel, y a que su hijo Clemen escape del país. Allí confluyen lo personal y lo político, la atmósfera de creciente violencia y la angustia de la protagonista, inseparables del trauma de la dictadura. Desmoronamiento retoma a Clemen Aragón en el momento de sus nupcias con Teti, la única hija de un matrimonio hondureño de clase alta, los Mira Brossa, que harán todo lo posible para frustrar la unión. Un retrato demoledor de dos estirpes enfrentadas, espejo de las entonces conflictivas relaciones entre Honduras y El Salvador. En La sirvienta y el luchador acompañamos a María Elena, la sirvienta de los Aragón, con la que Clemen tuvo un enredo. Ante la desaparición de uno de los descendientes de la familia, en los inicios de la guerra civil, María Elena se enfrasca en su búsqueda, junto a El Vikingo, un exluchador convertido en torturador que tiempo atrás fue su pretendiente.
