???Gloria Felipe mir??? la primera plana del peri???dico reci???n impreso como si mirara un barco entrando de noche al mar abierto. Tambi???n un mar dentro de ella.??? Las vidas de Gloria Felipe y de Nuria Valencia se entrelazan en torno al robo de una ni???a peque???a que conmociona a la capital mexicana en la d???cada de 1940. Por medio de una narradora que (en sus propias palabras) ???no canta mal las rancheras???, somos testigos de la batalla de los Miranda Felipe por recuperar a la menor de sus integrantes y de la crianza angustiosa de los Fern???ndez Valencia para salvar a su propia ni???a de un peligro potencial que la polic???a no ha podido frenar y los medios reportan con el tono de un thriller. Atravesada por diversas im???genes de agua -en forma de lluvia, mar, brisa, estanque o charco- que reflejan el estado an???mico de sus personajes, So???ar como sue???an los ???rboles ofrece una mirada cr???tica de los mandatos de la maternidad, y muestra tambi???n las posibilidades de rebeld???a y autodeterminaci???n que abrieron las mujeres del medio siglo para nosotras. El sentido del humor sagaz y punzante de Brenda Lozano hace imposible soltar el libro hasta llegar a sus ???ltimas p???ginas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Gloria Felipe looked at the cover story of the freshly-printed newspaper as if she was seeing a ship headed for open sea at night. A sea that was also inside of her." The lives of Gloria Felipe and Nuria Valencia intertwine around the kidnapping of a little girl that shocked the Mexican capital in the 1940s. By means of a narrator that (in her own words) "can flex her writing muscles quite well," we witness the Miranda-Felipe's battle to get the youngest of their clan back, and the distressing upbringing within the Fernandez-Valencia family to save their own little girl from a potential danger which the police hasn't been able to stop and the media reports with the tone of a thriller. Pierced by different water images--in the form of rain, sea, breeze, pond, or puddle--that reflect the mood of the characters, Dream as Trees Do offers a critical overview of the mandates of motherhood, but also shows the possibilities of rebellion and self-determination that mid-century women brought forth for us. Brenda Lozano's clever and sharp sense of humor makes it impossible to put the book down until you've turned the very last page.
