For many, life is changing, including that of a seasoned trader working in a market. It all begins with Ruperto, a shawl seller, and his wife, Jovita, who, just one day before the anniversary of Mexico's independence, receive a telegram. Its contents invite them to take a trip to the past and rummage through their memories, only to rediscover old wounds. The Shawl Seller is a work of historical fiction about the life of ordinary Mexicans, set in the time of the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution. In it, you will visit places that fill you with intrigue, and you will immerse yourself in the daily life of ordinary people who have a very moving story to tell.
