Title: Having the heart in the right place is half the battle
Review: In this great novel, Viramontes portrays the migrant experience in a very real and touching way. It shows that the love for the land, the love for oneself is as important as anything else, but mostly more important than the titles, visas, passports that keep putting obstacles in people's ways. Having a life following the work on the fields is not only hard and unrewarding, but if looked upon the way of a person in touch with themselves it becomes more important than ownership of land, being born on the right side of the line, or more important than all of it. Looking forward to her next novel.
