Chronicles of Air and Dreams
Fiction.Latino/a Studies. American archeologist Maria Elena Vazquez is excavating inside a Mayan pyramid when an earthquake strikes. She is rescued days later, physically unhurt, but unable to speak any language save an unknown ancient dialect. As time passes, she retreats into a world of dreams seemingly dominated by the spirit of Martin Cortes, bastard son of the conqueror of Mexico, Hernan Cortes, who has returned to wreak vengance on his torturers.

At once a ghost story, a romance, and a mystery, CHRONICLES OF AIR AND DREAMS is unique in its depiction of a modern Mexican-American family.
