Week 38: The Orange Tree
Carlos Fuentes sounded kind of familiar, so I picked up this book from Geisel Library. Turns out it’s a collection of short stories related to Cortés and the New World. Very interesting, and a clear central theme of the orange tree, which I appreciated.
Although the book is a work of fiction, after a glance at the Hernán Cortés Wikipedia page, a lot seems to be based on fact. I ended up learning a lot of history, which is always a nice bonus.
