A story richly flavored with cultural and historical references, lively speech, and colorful characters. Every summer, Lala Reyes’s large family goes on a long-awaited trip from Chicago to Mexico City - to the home of Little Grandpa and Terrible Grandma. Lala watches with interest the relationships of her family, often in a childish way embellishes events and invents fables. The girl tries with all her might to understand how her world works, tries to find out the reasons why Terrible Granny became so terrible and all her life played the role of a witch from the most terrible fairy tales. But most of all, Lala strives to find her own voice among hundreds of others: loud, interrupting, more confident and strong. In the end, the search for answers to these questions, like the colorful pattern on the famous rebozo shawl, flows into a stormy exploration of life, love, lies, betrayals.
