Described as
“una familia in stories,” these reflect the lives of four women yearning to get
by and aspire for a better life. Lupita, Rosa, Ana, and Irma—each with their
own struggles and ruminations.
This carried
a poetic feel that’s often reflective and somber. With a languid pace, tales
are a beacon to the prose of serious women’s fiction. It wasn’t as humorous as
I would’ve liked it to be, although there were some Spanish catchphrases
dispersed throughout that may give a chuckle. It was mostly about immigration
and settling into a new culture.
Stories, for
the most part, were well-written and endearing.
My rating: 3 stars
