Song of the Hummingbird by Graciela Limon

Fiction. From Aztec princess to slave and concubine, Hummingbird--or HuitzitzilAn in her native Nahuatl--recounts her life during the Spanish conquest of Mexico to Father Benito, the priest who seeks to confess and convert her, to offer her an absolution she neither needs nor wants. Instead, she forces him to see the conquest, for the first time, through the eyes of the conquered. Other novels by Graciela Limon available from SPD include IN SEARCH OF BERNABE, THE DAY OF THE MON, ERASED FACES, and THE MEMORIES OF ANA CALDERON.
