VIEWERS COMMENTS

Susana no se puede quejar - tenia a dos galanazos cortejandola: Rogelio Guerra y el fortachon Gregorio Casal (muy menospreciado pero una gran presencia). La pobre le contaba todas sus penas a Pachita, su amiga, y tenia que sufrir por no poder estar con sus hijas (una de las cuales, Reyna, era una maleducada y grosera). Los creditos eran bonitos: Susana caminando por los pasillos de la prision.

Buena novela, lástima que en la segunda etapa se perdió el esquema original y trasladaron la historia urbana de la ciudad de México a una selva perdida en Centroamérica.
