Lo Que Esta En Mi Corazon by Marcela Serrano
Una novela donde la revoluci n mexicana sirve de paisaje de fondo para una conmovedora historia que invita a reflexionar, desde el punto de vista de lo femenino, sobre temas como la p rdida de los hijos, de la pasi n y las peque as cobard as cotidianas. Camila viaja de Washington a M xico para escribir un reportaje sobre el Estado de Chiapas, que se encuentra bajo la mirada mundial por el protagonismo de uno de los l deres del Ej rcito Zapatista de Liberaci n Nacional (EZLN): el subcomandante Marcos. Pero su llegada a San Crist bal de las Casas tiene un objetivo m s profundo que una cr nica period stica: su marido la ha incentivado a realizar este trabajo para ayudarla a superar la muerte del hijo de ambos. Sumida en este dolor, Camila llega al sureste mexicano donde conoce a Reina Barcelona, una uruguaya que despierta en ella el esp ritu de lucha contra la injusticia social y la motiva a participar activamente en el movimiento revolucionario indigenista mexicano. En esta aventura la protagonista conoce el amor, pero tambi n el abuso, el maltrato y el secuestro. Todo ello, la lleva a reconciliarse con su pasado y su historia. La cr tica ha dicho:Una de las claves para explicar el xito de Marcela Serrano como novelista es que sabe sobre lo que est escribiendo y no s lo lo hace bien, sino que convoca, con claridad y falta de afectaci n, algunos temas que hoy rodean al acosado mundo de la mujer contempor nea .
