El Salvador is at the brink of collapse with the military-led government at war with the left-wing Farabundo Mart\u00ed National Liberation Front. The human right violations happen in broad daylight. Traumatized by the horrors orchestrated by the National Guard soldiers outside her pueblo home, Estrella Godwin Lozano takes up arms and joins the Sandinistas to seek revenge. Mann\u2019s writing is intelligent and precise, and she skillfully conveys the grisly hopelessness that pervades her characters\u2019 lives. Morality and corruption, compassion and cruelty, supernatural and ordinary, kindness and insanity, all find a place in the affecting narrative. The characters\u2019 struggles to survive are tenderly and beautifully portrayed. This engrossing tale of one woman\u2019s relentless struggles for survival against the backdrop of a country devastated by civil war is impossible to put down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Little Breadwinner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">War and Survival in the Salvadoran Heartland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By Lucia Mann<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aperion Books<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Little-Breadwinner-Survival-Salvadoran-Heartland\/dp\/0985603933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASIN B08JMCZ7VR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $15.95 (USD) Paperback, $7.50 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deeply engrossing, devastating tale of war and survival\u2026 Mann blends individual struggles and horrors of war, producing a compact tale of survival in her remarkable latest.
