This collection of stories is, like Peteschs previous work, distinguished by its brilliant lyrical intensity and by characters who are stunningly alive. It is a powerful collection about impassioned cultural conflicts in presentday Spain and Mexico; it is also a book about ourselveshow we have failed to love the Earth and have squandered our resources.In the title story, it is Justina Olivia who breaks the moral law of her village in an unforgettable love story. In Senior Colomas Class, a mother of grown children learns to read, and learns, too, that the Tree of Knowledge bears unpredictable fruit. In a story set in Monterrey, Mexico, Dr. Melindez Gutierrez dedicates his life to the barrios of the poor, while in another story also set in Monterrey, Manolos Secret, an Indian street beggar shares her life with a young immigrant from Spain.These remarkable characters can only add to Peteschs wide reputation not only for creating people out of pathos and courage, but also for a prose style throughout that is luminous and captivating.Justina of Andalusia and Other Stories is well suited to American literature classes, to Womens Studies courses, Latin American Studies programs, and to American Studies programs in the United States and abroad. It would be particularly useful as a text in crosscultural programs.
