About this item
Billie Jo es la protagonista de esta historia. Una chica de 14 años que vive en una zona rural de Oklahoma, con su padre y con su madre, que está embarazada. La acción transcurre en medio de una terrible sequía que dura ya dos años y que hace que los lugareños emigren hacia el Oeste (California) en busca de mejores oportunidades de trabajo; el padre de Billie Jo, sin embargo, se resiste con todas sus fuerzas a moverse, confiando en que se termine la mala racha y nazca el trigo en sus polvorientas tierras. Un accidente ocurrido en el verano de 1934 deja huérfana de madre a Billie Jo y a partir de entonces la vida se hace cad vez más dura y dolorosa. Esta historia estremecedora y dramática se presenta como híbrido de narracción y poema, en la que la lengua se ajusta perfectamente a esta doble naturaleza con un lenguaje básico de la narración, pero con una poeticidad que, en los momentos más difíciles, llega a estremecer. La disposición en forma de versos del texto, logra un efecto sonoro que, sin duda, calará muy hondo en quien tenga la suerte de leerlo.
