Era pequeña, rápida y bonita, y su madre la llamaba Colibrí. A los cuatro años la robaron de los brazos de sus padres en un autobús repleto de la Ciudad de Guatemala. Desde entonces recorre los caminos con «Tío», un exsoldado y mendigo errante que la rebautizó como Rosa y le asegura que su familia jamás aparecerá. Pero Rosa todavía recuerda, todavía espera y todavía sueña con volver a casa. Una novela conmovedora de Ann Cameron, ambientada en Guatemala, sobre el valor, la identidad y el lazo irrompible de la familia.

English Translation

Colibrí

She was little, quick, and pretty, and her mother called her Colibrí—Spanish for "hummingbird." At age four she was snatched from her parents on a crowded bus in Guatemala City. Ever since, she has wandered the roads with "Uncle," an ex-soldier and beggar who renamed her Rosa and insists her family can never be found. But Rosa still remembers, still hopes, and still dreams of going home. Ann Cameron's moving novel set in Guatemala explores courage, identity, and the unbreakable pull of family.
