PLACE OF THE FLOWER FIELDS
a night book of Xochimilco
William Vincent Carleton
Xochimilco means the place of the flower fields. Lúmine, Líam and Milu ride a painted trajinera beneath ahuejote willows, past chinampa gardens held to the lake by roots, flower boats bound for market and the axolotl that can regrow a leg. A Mexico Night Journeys book that honors the chinamperos who still do the work by hand, and the lake that agreed to hold a city.
