The Curriculum Vitae of Aurora Ortiz

I love to read small books, little known books, that others have enjoyed. This is one of these.Aurora Ortiz is the kind of person who you'd love to have as a friend; she's honest and open and truthful about herself. Unfortunately, this leads her into trouble when she is honest and open and truthful about herself when she applies to work for a job agency. Aurora is hurt by the agency's apparent dismissal of her and she travels off to recoup with her family. While there, she makes a new friend and learns the agency has an employee who is taken with her honesty. Aurora returns home and life seems good again.I liked this short and simple story of a woman and her little struggles to pull herself together after her husband's death. ( )

This is a beautiful little book. Aurora's outlook on the world is at times quaint, beautiful, and surprisingly apt. Solana's sweet story and gorgeous prose make this book a real treat. Three cheers for the excellent translator! ( )
