Beneath a placid-seeming surface, deep Undercurrents are flowing. Gardens, mountains, deserts, caverns, brujerias, fears, dreams, children's games, good food, sharing, anger, pain and wisdom. Through anecdotes in the style of the Spanish cuento, Adela Amador casts light on the lives of the varied peoples of New Mexico over many decades. Her reminiscences and ruminations of changing times and mingled cultures, her unflinching observations of class, race and gender dynamics, are delivered without pathos or sentimentality - she simply tells it like it is, like it was, and like it ought to be. Adela Amador doesn't try to speak for everyone, only very clearly for herself.
