Product Description

Review
Readers expecting magic realism from Puerto Rican novelist Ferre are in for a surprise. She eschews that form so closely associated with Latin American novels, for a down-to-earth realism that contains its own brand of magic. In her latest novel the narrator, Elvira Vernet, tells the story of her family over the last 100 years. It is an elegant and often-captivating story in which the interwined fates of the family members are symbolic of the history of Puerto Rico. The only drawback is that Ferre overcrowds the stage a little and some of the characters end up being rather one-dimensional. Yet this is only a slight flaw in a bright and vital novel.
