Description

JOAQUINA SANCHEZ lives in total obscurity on a bull ranch in Mexico at the end of WWII Joaquinas father SALVADOR is the foreman of the ranch and a trainer of matadors Hes been training Joaquina all of her life and now at seventeen shes as good a matador as any man living But its not acceptable for a woman to be a matador Salvador knows this but hes never told Joaquina and he feels guilty about this The older she gets the more her ability improves the more guilt he feels So he keeps pushing her harder and harder in the arena Maybe hes hoping shell walk away from bullfighting and be like his other daughters But Joaquina has too much drive and determination to do that
