Description
Set in Porter's native Texas and her beloved Mexico, prewar Nazi Germany and the gothic Old South, these are stories of love, outrage, betrayal, and spiritual reckoning that are severe but never cruel, and always exquisitely precise.
First Sentence
Maria Concepcion walked carefully, keeping to the middle of the white dusty road, where the maguey thorns and the treacherous curved spines of organ cactus had not gathered so profusely.
