El exilio: un relato de familia is a captivating and intimate account of two families who were forced to leave their beloved Mexico following the Revolution.

The book, written by Carlos Tello Díaz, a direct descendant of Porfirio Díaz, offers a unique perspective on the lives of these families in exile and the events that shaped the country from afar. The author draws upon extensive primary sources, many of them previously unpublished, to craft a compelling narrative that is both personal and historical.

Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, El exilio provides a detailed account of the experiences of these two families, including their struggles and triumphs in a foreign land. Don Luis González y González, one of Mexico's leading historians of the 20th century, praised the book upon its initial release, calling it "a new history that aspires to reconciliation with the public while maintaining the rigor of scientific methodology." With its focus on the personal and historical aspects of exile, El exilio is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Mexican history.
