The Surrender Tree/El Arbol De La Rendicióm / Margarita Engle

It is 1896. Cuba has fought three wars for independence and still is not free. People have been rounded up in concentration camps with too little food and too much illness. Rosa is a nurse, but with a price on her head for helping the rebels, she dares not go to the camps. Instead, she turns hidden caves into hospitals for those who know how to find her. Black, white, Cuban, Spanish -- Rosa does her best for everyone. Yet who can heal a country so torn apart by war? This book contains the complete English and Spanish translations presented separately in one edition.
