In Case I Never See You Again

Laura Martínez Belli

NOVEL. PLANETA, 2008. 244 PAGES.

Mexico in the early 20th century: while revolutionary winds blow ever stronger, little Mercedes' childhood comes to an abrupt end when her mother sells her to a brothel. Transformed into a young prostitute, when she gets pregnant and gives birth, she decides to put her baby up for adoption. The man chosen to take care of the child is cultured and wealthy and takes him to the capital to be educated. Once the revolution has broken out, Mercedes finds herself forced to join the ranks of Emiliano Zapata while her son Gilberto - now a painter and assistant to Diego Rivera - begins to forget her. In Case I Never See You Again is the moving portrait of a period riven by conflict and the energy of artists whose works reflected their yearning for change.
