When Orquídea dies (in spectacular fashion), she leaves even more mysteries behind. Like she has done all their lives, Orquídea makes Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly figure things out for themselves. When our three protagonists and their relatives come back home, their plan is to try to finally get Orquídea to tell them about what she left behind…except, Orquídea still refuses to speak. In Zoraida Córdova’s The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, all the chickens come home to roost and Orquídea’s secrets turn out to be as deadly as they are magical.Īll Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly-three of Orquídea’s grandchildren-know before they come back to Four Rivers is that Orquídea came from Guayaquil, Ecuador that she has had five husbands but only speaks about four of them and that she is able to make things happen that no one else can do. Three of them, however, just want to know what’s been hidden from them their entire lives. Most of them come expecting an inheritance of some kind. Now that she’s about to die, she calls her descendants back to the family ranch (a ranch that appeared just as mysteriously as Orquídea Divina herself did). Orquídea Divina has been keeping her secrets for a long time.
