Un halcón bajo mi ventana marks journalist and writer Lydia Cacho’s (Mexico) first foray into fiction for adults. A coming-of-age novel about the power of tenderness and friendship, it pays tribute to the voices of the girls and women who paved the way in the struggle for a fairer world. Julieta is a fourteen-year-old girl searching for meaning in her life in 1960s Mexico. Everything changes when she attends the 1968 marches and the Halconazo of 1971 alongside her mother; historic moments that lead her to become involved in clandestine meetings, revolutionary movements and a decade of thrilling revelations.
