This book was my introduction to Julia Alvarez. Her books are brilliantly written in a style very similar to a Cuban-American writer close to home: Ana Menendez (In Cuba I Was A German Shepherd). There is no doubt in my mind that this is a brilliant book touching subjects present in the Hispanic-American culture. It is a must-read for anyone of any age.

I read this book over 15 years ago and loved it. It just spoke to me, and apparently, to all my friends who borrowed it. It is beautifully written!

this is a good book to experience what the immigrants went through regards to culture difference. The quality is not really good because the paper is cut in waves. I don't know if it supposed to be like that or not. But i am not used to turn over such book.

This book was one that I chose from a list for my Soc 101 class. Had I read the reviews that said that the book was slow and that the characters were disconnected, I would never had read the book. This book is very hard to analyze because it doesn't move anywhere, and is often confusing due to changing time, character, and language. Although I know that the book is obviously going to use Spanish, this was a bad example of how to use it.

This is a wonderful Book. The Story of the Four Garcia sisters is told by going back in time from how they came to live in the United States and adapt to this new country to little girls living in Dominican Republic and growing up there, and how they came about to moving to America. Julia Alvarez is an amazing author the book is not only funny, but you can always relate to some part of it. An essay book to read and a lot of fun for people of all age!
