Query: A LATINA WRITER WINS ONCE AGAIN!

I heard much about this novel and finally settled down to see what all the reviews were about. I really enjoyed this book and was amazed, which I shouldn't have been, about the island similarities to Puerto Rico. I believe every 1st and 2nd generations from countries, their parents homeland, can easily identify with Alvarez.Latino or not. I immediately read YO! the contined story of the Garcia Girls with the main focus on Yolanda. She did an excellent job in flashbacks and working her knowledge of the Domican regime with the Domican Republic realities. The runner up would be the world through the YOUNG Garcia girls and how they learned what it was to be Domican and American. I would definately recommend this book to those who can appreciate the sacredness of our cultural knowledge. --Sandra Concepcion, Age 20
