Summary

Abandonando la tension politica de la RepublicaDominicana de los explosivos anos sesenta, las cuatro hermanasGarcia acompanadas de sus padres se autoexilian en el Bronx Neoyorquino, arribando a un ambiente totalmente desconocido y en extremo liberal para sus conservadores padres. La excelente narrativa de Julia Alvarez nos lleva de la mano por el recorrido de las dinamicas hermanas Garcia, por caminos deliciosamente divertidos y tambien plagados de conflictos generacionales, donde las barreras del lenguaje y del prejuicio social se patentizan en el trayecto de unas rebeldes hermanas que han dejado atras la vida privilegiada y conservadora en Santo Domingo y que haran todo lo posible para adaptarse a este nuevo pais plagado de novedosas oportunidades. Alvarez nos deleita, narrando con una originalidad y ligereza sorprendente el como las Garcia perdieron su acento, pero tambien ganaron una identidad que retrata al de muchas familias de inmigrantes que dia a dia luchan por tener un futuro en este gran pais.
