Title: An Excellent Novel
Review: This is an excellent novel written by one of the foremost Puerto Rican writers. It is about life in Puerto Rico at the end of the XIXth century. It represents a unique opportunity to delve into the minds, lives, and landscapes of the Puerto Rican jibaro of that time. Its Spanish is impeccable. La charca is influenced by the naturalist style in literature, and its psychology is accurate and consistent with the jibaro mind and personality. A must read.
