THE VOLCANO DAUGHTERS

Five narrators take on this story of young Indio women who are swept up in the violence of an El Salvadoran dictator. When Graciela is taken from her friends and family to become an oracle for a horrifying dictator, she meets her older sister, Consuelo, who was stolen when she was a young child. After a violent uprising, the sisters escape from El Salvador to the rich world of California, but neither is able to leave behind the ghosts of their murdered friends. Deftly switching between English and Spanish, narrators Gisela Chipe, Elena Rey, Alma Cuervo, E.A. Castillo, Ines del Castillo take turns bringing life to the sisters and the murdered girls whose spirits will not remain silent. V.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2024]
