Overview
Un secreto fue soltado de sopetón por la abuela de Ligia: tu trastarabuelo fue un alto jerarca de la Iglesia que embarazó a una joven Josefa, tu trastarabuela. El escándalo fue tal, que Josefa tuvo que mudarse de España a Nicaragua. El rumor fue en extremo doloroso para una familia con una honda raigambre católica. La verdad no pudo hablarse abiertamente por temor a Dios, hasta que Ligia tomó a esa bestia de rumores y la transformó en una obra de ficción. Ligia aireó esa llaga familiar reelaborando la posible historia con una magnífica novela. Aquí hay de todo: reflexiones sobre el abuso, celos, confusión, muerte, pero a la vez, alegría, ganas de vivir, amor, solidaridad. No hay víctimas, ni villanos. Ligia presenta la condición humana con sus paradojas, contradicciones, revanchas. Narrada como las grandes novelas del siglo XIX, aquí los acontecimientos se suceden uno tras a otro. "Por mi gran culpa" conmueve, emociona, divierte, nos enoja, nos hace reír, nos descubre mundos, nos confronta y nos hace viajar por ese gran río que es la experiencia humana. Guillermo Arriaga ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “A secret was suddenly revealed by Ligia's grandmother: your great-great-grandfather was a high-ranking member of the Church who got a young woman named Josefa, your great-great-grandmother, pregnant. The scandal was so great that Josefa had to move from Spain to Nicaragua. The rumor was extremely painful for a family with deep Catholic roots. The truth could not be spoken openly for fear of God, until Ligia took that beast of rumors and transformed it into a work of fiction. Ligia aired that family wound by reworking the possible story into a magnificent novel. Here there is everything: reflections on abuse, jealousy, confusion, death, but at the same time, joy, the will to live, love, solidarity. There are no victims, no villains. Ligia presents the human condition with its paradoxes, contradictions, and revenge. Narrated like the great novels of the 19th century, here events follow one after another. Por mi gran culpa (Through my great fault) moves us, excites us, entertains us, angers us, makes us laugh, reveals worlds to us, confronts us, and takes us on a journey down that great river that is the human experience.” —Guillermo Arriaga
