Now a global best seller, the remarkable life of Rigoberta Menchú, a Guatemalan peasant woman, reflects on the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America. 

Menchú suffered gross injustice and hardship in her early life: her brother, father, and mother were murdered by the Guatemalan military. She learned Spanish and turned to catechistic work as an expression of political revolt, as well as religious commitment. Menchú vividly conveys the traditional beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, this book is illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman.

Menchú's story is interesting from a historical perspective (I'm aware of the controversy about its factual accuracy).

What I do not understand is why a book translated from Spanish needs to be read by a Canadian actor who fakes an accent (I don't even know what it was) but can't actually pronounce the few words of Spanish correctly. Why do this? It makes no sense. We know Menchú is not reading her own work, so why not just choose a native speaker so we can focus on the content.

Interesting story, poorly read
