Queen of Water by Laura Resau
Every book has its place and its audience. Although The Queen of Water is fiction, it’s based on a true story, and it reads like a biography. I think readers who enjoy biographies and those who have an interest in learning about different cultures will be most drawn to it.
The Queen of Water is well-written, and young readers will definitely be exposed to a very different world than the one they live in. Books are great for that, in general, and Queen doesn’t disappoint. The story of Virginia Farinango is an interesting one. An indigenous Indian given away by her parents to an upper-class family, the reader witnesses the cruelties of classism and the conflict it causes in young people.
