Description
"El Hermano takes place during the forty days of Lent in 1928 as Jos and his cousins conspire to spy on one of the brotherhoods secret rituals to see what lies ahead for them as novices. Jos knows his time to join the cofradas (of which his own father is Hermano Mayor) is near, but having seen Hermanos who appear to be in pain after a night spent at the morada, a meeting house and chapel, and having heard stories about those who even died in the past because of whatever went on within the show more sacred structure, his fear guides him to join his cousins in their clandestine scheme. Little do they know, certain New Mexican legends conspire against them; La Muerte , Saint Death, warns Jos to leave his future unknown, a ball of fire thought to be a witch crosses their path, and even la Llorona, ghost of the Weeping Woman, and el Diablo, the Devil make an appearance."--Amazon.com/ show lessTags
