Omar doesn’t turn out to be the man he thinks he is, while Martha’s quest to change her circumstances only deepens. The further Martha gets—whether it’s learning about her revolutionary great-grandmother or discovering what drove Mexican families like hers North—the clearer it becomes that a person like her was never going to simply be allowed to live on her own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarrated by an older Omar reflecting on his complicity in the events of that year,\u003ci\u003e Decent People\u003c\/i\u003e is an epic novel about entitlement, inheritance, and the quiet violences that can shape a life, especially a woman’s. It’s a story that explores how confronting our past—personal and collective—may reopen old wounds but also provide a way to heal.","brand":"Random House Large Print","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48688022421759,"sku":"9798217509492","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798217509492_s600x595.png?v=1781541959","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9798217509492","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
