Clorinda Matto de Turner was the first Peruvian novelist to command an        international reputation and the first to dramatize the exploitation of indigenous        Latin American people. In this tragic tale, she explores the relationship between        the landed gentry and the indigenous peoples of the Andean mountain communities.          While unfolding as a love story rife with secrets and dashed hopes, Torn from the        Nest in fact reveals a deep and destructive class disparity, and criticizes the        Catholic clergy for blatant corruption.Lucia and Don Fernando Marin settle in the        small hamlet of Killac, where they meet with violent opposition from the priest and        gentry when they become advocates for the exploited local Indians. As a romance        blossoms between a member of the gentry and the peasant girl that Lucia and Don        Fernando have adopted, a dreadful secret prevents their marriage and brings to a        climax the novel's exposure of degradation: they share the same father, a parish        priest.Torn from the Nest was first published in Peru in 1889 amidst much enthusiasm        and outrage. This fresh translation--the first since 1904-- preserves one of Peru's        most distinctive and compelling voices.
