Received from SCOUT-FINCH as part of the Two Worlds Virtual Bookbox. However, the book is not labelled, and SCOUT-FINCH says I can just register it myself.
Will read and release this one. Maybe I will make it into a bookring.

Synopsis from amazon.co.uk: "Eagerly embracing their new American culture in Miami, the four Garcia women iron their hair, smoke cigarettes, date American men, forget their Spanish, and lose their accents, all in their journey toward adulthood."
I thought this book was excellent!

Have read a book by Julia Alvarez 'In the Time of the Butterflies' I really enjoyed it and hope this one will be as good.
Really enjoyed this book. An interesting and often funny insight into the American immigrant. Have also read 'In the Time of the Butterflies' by the same author.
