In Time, Malinche, in Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530910373)

Lucy spent her childhood indulging in imaginary companions and fantasy. Now a librarian with a wide range of intellectual interests, she's locked in an old extension of the library with nothing to do but read and dream.

After a set of books on the Spanish conquistadors catch her attention, Lucy mentally summons two of the most influential players in the conquest of Mexico: Hernan Cortes and his translator, a Native American Indian long derided as a traitor-a woman named Malinche.

In Time, Malinche, in Time explores Malinche's role in the ongoing conflict between Spanish and Mesoamerican cultures and her place as the mother of those caught between the two, the Mestizos.

Applying Jungian psychology to Malinche's life and struggles, playwright Maria Teresea H. de Holcomb demonstrates how history really does repeat itself, and how the archetypes of Mexico of the early 1500s resurface in North American cities in the 1990s.

Join Lucy as she delves into a rich world of visions, imagination, and historical fact, taking both audience and librarian deep into the mind and soul of Malinche, while humanizing a woman long demonized by history.
