Description

A dramatic story of love and loss across three generations as the railroad came to Patagonia, forever changing the landscape and its peoples. Llankaray’s grandmother left a rich inheritance: her medicine, an undefeatable spirit, and the stories of her Mapuche ancestors.

These tales are forever etched in Llankaray’s memory—and the soil of their beloved Patagonia.

She begins with Fresia, a gifted Mapuche medicine woman who communicates with plants.

She raises her granddaughter, Pirenrayen, to be a strong healer and leader for her people. And then there’s Chekeken, a Tehuelche woman who was once kidnapped and sold but escaped.

Her son will bear a great lineage. But most unforgettable of all is Pirenrayen, Llankaray’s grandmother.

Her story collides with the arrival of the railroad in Patagonia—and with a man named Liam O’Sullivan.

Born a world away in Dublin, with dreams of becoming a railroad engineer, Liam couldn’t be more different from Pirenrayen.

But they both witness the oppression of their people under British power. And they find in each other a love for the ages…
