(1) YA Set among a fictional tribe in the Peruvian jungle, the story is narrated by Alicia, a young girl who regards with suspicion the two American anthropologists who have come to study her people. By juxtaposing two radically different cultures (with attitudes toward sexuality prominent), Abelove provides humorous yet respectful insight into both, shining a light on a nearly hidden society and allowing readers to view our own through new eyes.
