Thunderwoman

0/5 ( ratings)

Masterfully entwining factual events, mythology, and fantasy, poet and novelist Nancy Wood has created an epic adventure with an unforgettable heroine. Covering nearly all of New Mexican history, from the emergence of the First Peoples through the Atomic Age, this sweeping saga uses magical realism to call into question the very definition of "Western civilization".At the dawn of time, Kobili and his wife, Thunderwoman, created the universe together, but then quarreled and were separated. Now, with Coronado's army approaching, the ageless shaman awaits his beloved's rebirth. One day, a girl is born to the chief of the Pueblo, a girl whose grandmothers give her power over the Six Directions -- a girl whose eyes are filled with pieces of broken stars. It is Thunderwoman, but Kobili must have patience. Will she join him in their final task? Or will Macaw's predictions of legions of armored men, riding like the wind on the backs of horses -- men like Don Juan de Onate, with a mission to convert and destroy -- come true before Thunderwoman has harnessed her own powers?
