Into the Beautiful North: Luis Alberto Urrea
Loading...
Uploaded by BookVideosTV on Apr 17, 2009
Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the US to find work. Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only man who has left town. In fact, there are almost no men in the village--they've all gone north. While watching The Magnificent Seven, Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven men--her own "Siete Magníficos"--to repopulate her hometown and protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over.
Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the Sinaloan sun, INTO THE BEAUTIFUL NORTH is the story of an irresistible young woman's quest to find herself on both sides of the fence.

I bought the book on Tuesday,got back home, started reading it at 6:00 PM and didn't stop until I was done reading it at 10:AM the next morning.Excellent book,is not that you can't put the book away,is that the book won't let go of you. Please,buy it, read it and be a better person,you will not regret it a bit.One of the best books I've read in my entire life.The only other books that I can say the same about are the ones I read from Jose Agustin when I was still a kid growing up in Mexico City.
