migrates north (to El Norte) where she meets a dying 92 year old woman, The Widow.
The novel is their story.
About the Book:
Through the intimate bond of a companion and benefactor, Gabriela reconciles the
painful experiences of her youth as she is reshaped by the Widow, La Viuda. Together,
day after day, night after night, La Viuda immerses Gabriela in lists, boxes, places, times,
objects, photos, and stories, captivating and life-changing stories. It seems Gabriela is
not just hired to cook and clean; she has been chosen to curate La Viuda’s mementos
while taking care of the old woman’s failing health. “As you grow thick, I grow thin,”
says the widow, portending the secret of immortality that will overtake both women.

DeleteThank you Andrea for hosting Jack Remick and sharing about his wonderfully writing novel, Gabriela and the Widow. I've been enjoying the storyline and almost finished. It is sad when a good book comes to the ending because you want it to keep going.
