Abelardo is writing the story of his life, which is inextricably bound to the US invasion of 1847. Witnessing this creative process is his wife, a liberal woman who both questions and motivates him and is a driving force behind his writing.The history of the US invasion is well known: Mexico lost half its territory to the imperial power to its north in a war filled with episodes of heroic resistance and shameful defeat. In addition to legends of patriots, upstarts and traitors, however, the national catastrophe also gave rise to individual vocations and passions. Abelardos memoirs record his personal struggles as well as those of Dr. Urruchua and his obsession with germs.
