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!

I am 1/3 of the way through this book and I am stalled -- I have read 2 other books since starting this work. It just isn't a rewarding experience for me. There is no driving beat in the book to drive me on.

This book poignantly describes the challenges of trying to assimilate into a new culture while maintaining the old. Alvarez does an exceptional job capturing the difficulty of trying to fit in, while trying to follow the beliefs and culture of the old country.
This is definitely a book to consider, for it will reveal the complications of assimilation, the love for our family, and the bond of sisterhood. Overall, this is a novel that provides insight towards a new culture.
