The Hummingbirds Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea

Taking place in the late 19th century in Mexico is a novel about mystery and superstition.  A young girl, Teresita, was thought to have been killed seemed to have risen from the dead.  She had visions, could heal people, and had thousands of followers.  It was an interesting book with many layers and stories interwoven.  It was a little long winded for me, but I am glad that I pushed my way through,
