The Girl In The House With The Cigarette Pack

I had not read a novel with such passion since I met Freedom Tonight, by Dominique la Pierre and Larry Collins. Like that one, “The Raleigh Girl”. original title of the work that we now present with the title The girl in the house with the cigarette pack is a story based on true events, but with a generous dose of magical realism. Julio Zenón Flores Salgado is, like García Márquez, a journalist who writes fiction. Its Macondo is called Tlapa, Acapulco and Chilpancingo, it is located in the cities and towns of the mountain of Guerrero, its protagonist is not candid like Eréndira; but in defense of her life she can become heartless, because she moves in a context of sad whores, who are also indigenous girls, victims of pedophilia because uses and customs have allowed them to engender girls to sell like cattle, after an incestuous debut . The story, exciting in itself, is dressed with magical characters and other tremendously realistic ones, such as the politicians of Guerrero who have become immensely rich with the business of keeping indigenous peoples perfectly poor.
