Review: I love this novel - I read "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros, and had enjoyed it. However, I had not read any of her other novels until I came upon this one. I found the title in a reading list at the back of another book, "How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" by Julia Alvarez. This book is interesting to me on many levels. First, it delves deeply into a complicated family relationship. Many of the themes resonate with me, because they remind me of my own family. My grandparents were immigrants from Italy, and the family dynamics between Italian families and Latino families are so similar. Perhaps that is because of the immigrant experience, as well. This book explores those relationships against the backdrop of a Mexican family that emigrated to the U.S. So intertwined with family themes are all of the struggles of adapting to and living in a different country..specifically, Latino/Mexican struggles. In order to explore these themes, the writer goes back in time as the granddaughter of the family, trying to learn more about her family's past. I really loved this book for it's study of familial relationships, as well as it's focus on one Latino family's experience in the U.S. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Latino culture, the experiences of immigrants, as well as anyone who also has complicated family relationships and seeks to understand these more. The book keeps your attention, and is very funny and entertaining in many parts, as well.
Review: The MBC Abbreviated Review - For us, the San Antonians, the book was nostalgic and chewy, full of life, delicious, and bitter-sweet. So was the same for many other Mexican-Americans who live in Texas. The book presented an honest reflections, life and souls of an important slice of American population; and more importantly, peoples of our own town. The voice, the blocks of words full of local idiom, and Mexican proverbs were exhilarating. The plot was a story of the awful grandmother but more so mini tales of individual characters who appeared in the novel. The group agreed that the book was a great and pleasant read; here are some delightful passages: Sweet sweeter, colors brighter, the bitter more bitter. Tin sugar spoon and how surprised the hand feels because it's so light. If you leave your father's house without a husband you are worse than a dog. Only people you love drive you to hate. The book also reflects upon the transformation of the city and appearance of a new milieu.

This was a long book. It took me forever to finish. I want to read it a second time because I feel I will enjoy it more than the initial reading.
