Innocent Erendira And Other Stories

　　Whilst her demanding grandmother retires to bed, Eréndira has floors to wash, sheets to iron, and a peacock to feed. Exhausted, she collapses into bed, toppling over a glowing candle...

　　Her grandmother insists Eréndira must repay her for the loss of the house. As she is dragged from town to town and hawked to soldiers and traders, Eréndira feels herself dying. Can the love of a virgin save the young whore from her hell?
