Sacrifice Book Tour - "I want to return to your arms"
Today I am delighted to be host to Coral Russell who is currently touring book blogs with her seventh novel - Sacrifice. You can find out more about the book and its author below, but first we start a piece about a special piece of music.
Chavela Vargas is considered one of the greatest folk singers (cantadora) of Mexico. In this video she is singing a famous song called Volver, volver. She sang for Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera. It is a traditional song everyone knows the lyrics to in Mexico and other Latin American countries. When I was in a bar in Monterrey, Mexico a singer with a guitar started singing this song and everyone joined in at the refrain if not the whole song. Which is why it isn't unusual for the other two singers in the video to join at the end. The song talks about passion and how you would die to return to the arms of the one you love. So why do so many know the words to a Spanish love song? As a ranchera (traditional or folk song) it is also used to represent the longing to return to your country, your home, or the way you remember it to be. What do you long to return to?
About the book
When Mexican drug cartels fight for control along the border, Juarez becomes the murder capital of the world. In El Paso, Texas it's drug business as usual: a grifter sets out to buy her freedom, a car salesman runs drugs to make his fortune, a gang leader battles to rise among the ranks of the cartel, and a detective and his wife are ripped apart by a family secret. Everyone's fate lies in the hands of an old woman. Will she let the past die with her or take revenge the only way she knows how?
Sacrifice is a fast-paced, gritty story that'll keep you guessing, gasping, and gripping your eBook.
You can buy the book on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
