it was ok
bookshelves: 2022, americas

I loved the author's In the Time of the Butterflies, and so I added other of her titles to my TBR. This book's premise was promising and it started out well, with the rotating voices of sisters telling us about their life in the DR and their emigration to New York. But then it just sort of frittered off into a nothing tale of women we end up not really caring much about. Disappointing.

Karina I forgot I read this! But I basically felt the same as you.

Maggie Bowman It's nice to hear that she's written some good stuff because this was my first book of hers and I was not impressed. Maybe I'll have to give her another try!

Jan Priddy Thank you, I might try again. This one didn't do much for me.
