The sorrows of young Alfonso
Popularity 2
""The world is full of sorrow," Agapita whispered to Alfonso. Did she stamp those words into his destiny? The story of Alfonso, a Neuvo Mexicano, begins with his birth, when the curandera Agapita delivers these haunting words into his infant ear. When then unfolds is an elegiac song to the Ilanos of New Mexico where Alfonso comes of age."--Jacket.
