The Book of Lamentations | Rosario Castellanos

I want to read this Mexican classic examining the relationships among indigenous Mayans and landowning peoples in the fictionalized 1930s but am trying to avoid book buying. I've heard great things about this book's exploration of oppression and power connected to gender, culture, and money. Why doesn't my library own it?!
