Resumen del libro

A Los Angeles Times Bestseller

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book

A book of extraordinary scope and extraordinary power. Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times
Scott and Maureen Torres-Thompson have always relied on others to run their Orange County home. But when bad investments crater their bank account, it all comes down to Araceli: their somewhat prickly Mexican maid. One night, an argument between the couple turns physical, and a misunderstanding leaves the Torres-Thompson children in Araceli's care. Their parents unreachable, she takes them to central Los Angeles in the hopes of finding Scott's estranged Mexican father an earnest quest that soon becomes a colossal misadventure, with consequences that ripple through every strata of the sprawling city. The Barbarian Nurseries is a masterful tale of contemporary Los Angeles, a novel as alive as the city itself.

HÉCTOR TOBAR, now a weekly columnist for the Los Angeles Times, is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and a novelist.
