Edición en Inglés
A book with two intersecting destinies, these are two very different characters. However, they will cross paths, love and hate each other. Life is never a straight highway.
It all begins in Laredo, a city in Texas. If we cross the street, we are in Mexico. The choice of city is not trivial, the foreigner, or the future migrant is your neighbor. A few steps away, Mexico has established a new city, the new Laredo. The migrant did not travel thousands of kilometers on foot, he lived on the sidewalk opposite yours.
Alejandro is the son of migrants, his parents are Mexican and he also lived about fifty kilometers from Laredo. It is surprising to talk about migrants in the United States, apart from Native Americans, all the inhabitants are migrants or descendants of migrants. The term highlights contempt. We talk about Italian-Americans, but never Irish-Americans. The words we use, the choice of terms, have meaning.
Laredo, USA, is the land of sufficiency, you will not starve there if you work, your children go to school, the American way of life will allow them to become rich, and enjoy all the pleasures of life.
Priscilla is an American, she is descended from an English migrant who arrived here centuries ago. Blonde, green eyes, no doubt. His parents are middle class, they observe Mexico with empathy. But the sons of migrants from the south exasperate them. They don't want to integrate into American society. They live in clans, like animals would.
One day, she is eating ice cream on a road that leads nowhere, probably in California, Alejandro sits next to her, he pesters her to give her a kiss. He decides she is his girlfriend. She doesn't respond, she's shy and doesn't dare to impose herself.
A few days later, he introduced her to her parents, they invited her to eat next Sunday. She doesn't dare say no.
One morning, James appears, Priscilla loves him, he is pimply, she finds him so handsome. Alejandro is going crazy. She goes into crisis. James stole his girlfriend, she belongs to him.
Alejandro, after a big foolishness, is sentenced to ten years in prison, to the great relief of the two lovers.
He gets out of prison. On the way to Laredo, he notices that changes have occurred. He is worried. Two men as strong as if they spent their lives in weight rooms force him into a car. A few days later, he found himself at the North Pole without understanding what was happening to him. He only has one objective left: to go to Laredo, a priori it is not easy.
Meanwhile, Priscilla realizes that in Laredo, life has stopped. No one lives, not even a dog or a bird, just the wind and the heat are present. Leaving this city becomes an emergency.
