Published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers
Una mezcla entre romance y bitácora de viaje, Evamar es una emotiva y hermosa novela en verso sobre el primer amor, culturas perdidas y conexiones ancestrales, escrita por la galardonada autora Margarita Engle.
Justo antes de que se transformara en un espíritu invisible,
Mi abuela susurró sus últimos deseos en mi oído:
Esparce mis cenizas en un sembrado de girasoles, espera pacientemente,
cosecha las semillas, vuela a la isla, encuentra el jardín,
siembra las semillas,
entonces-y solo entonces-
lee mis diarios.
Also available in English, Evamar.
