What she knows of life comes from her mother, who has survived abandonment by her husband in a land that treats her as if she were invisible, even though she and her children pick the crops of the farms that feed its people. But within Estrella, seeds of growth and change are stirring. And in the arms of Alejo, they burst into a full, fierce flower as she tastes the joy and pain of first love. Pushed to the margins of society, she learns to fight back and is able to help the young farmworker she loves when his ambitions and very life are threatened in a harvest of death.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nInfused with the beauty of the California landscape and shifting splendors of the passing seasons juxtaposed with the bleakness of poverty, this vividly imagined novel is worthy of the people it celebrates and whose story it tells so magnificently. The simple lyrical beauty of Viramontes’ prose, her haunting use of image and metaphor, and the urgency of her themes all announce Under the Feet of Jesus as a landmark work of American fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWinner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature\u003cbr\u003e\nSelected as the Univesity of Oregon's 2019 Common Reading book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452273870\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.1 x 5.0 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLUME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50209738326320,"sku":"Trans_9780452273870","price":1189.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81ujoF6ZFBL.jpg?v=1760171296","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/under-the-feet-of-jesus","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
