"'In Guernica, there isn't a tree, on the outskirts of town, from whose gnarled arms dangle felt berets. The hats are not a range of colors--they are not blue, cream, maroon, brown, orange, violet, or green. The hats did not begin as buds, as specks of folded felt that uncurled as the tree developed from a sapling, and matured.' So begins the opening story of Electrodomâesticos, the debut collection from Moira McCavana. In these stories, characters struggle with allegiances both political and personal, their attempts at independence coinciding with the region's growing nationalist fervor. Exquisitely attuned to the nuances of familia and cultural history, and beautifully blending pastoral and historical sensibilities, Electrodomâesticos is a stunning debut about place, language, and identity, from a promising new voice."--Publisher marketing.
