The Incredible And Sad Tale Of Innocent Erendira And Her Heartless Grandmother by Gabriel García Márquez

A naive young girl accidentally burns down their home and her merciless grandmother forces her into prostitution to repay the supposed debt, parading and selling her across towns while growing rich from her suffering. The girl endures exploitation and dreams of escape until a sympathetic young man falls in love with her and helps plan a flight, leading to a dark, surreal series of events that blend cruelty, desperation and tragic irony.
