I absolutely loved this book. It's set up like a series of short stories about the family told in reverse chronological order. Here's why I loved it:
1. Even as a second-generation Latino immigrant the stories resonated strongly with me. She perfectly captures that feeling of being between cultures.
2. It was refreshing to see a loving father in the Latin-American genre. I feel like the few books that I've read always have either an absent or deadbeat dad figure.
3 It had a wonderful cast of four sisters who manage to be strong independent women even in difficult circumstances, like a country and family with old-fashioned customs and beliefs.
4. I thought the writing was beautiful and paced evenly.
