Title: Julia Alvarez is a treasure!
Product review: I should first say that the order was easy to place and arrived promptly as promised.As to content, Alvarez is refreshing and distinctive voice. Her poety, like her historical fiction and 'memoirs' bring to vivid life the Latina experience both in her home country and as an immigrant girl to the US. She spares us little of the hardship and the brutality of the history, but has a wondrously upbeat vision of herself and her family. She uses humor generously, often with straight faced satire, or sly comments.Being a big fan of her myself, I bought this volume as a gift for my 14 year old granddaughter, who is a new explorer of adult poetry.
