Ananke

Anaké is inspired in a true story, a story as secret as it is widespread. Just across the US-Mexican border, thousands of girls are held against their will to be used for sex trafficking. Most of them never escape. With uncommon courage and prose that carries the reader slickly along for a gut-wrenching ride, through her young protagonist, Gilda Salinas has brought the story out of the shadows. «After this novel, many people have names, they have so many places, and sad as it may seem, they have a price». Miguel Ochoa «It is a contemporary tragedy, a new Oedipus, the title is telling us: an inexorable destiny, a fatality. Like any tragedy, it will have to be interpreted because Mélida is not only a victim, but she represents the woman herself…». Josué Camacho «What a great libra! A true tragedy, I loved its rawness».
