A collection of Latino stories and poetry by women writers, most of whom were born in the U.S. The stories range from The Kiss by Julia Alvarez, which is on a tyrannical father, to Eyes of Zapata by Sandra Cisneros, a Mexican war story.
On one hand it it beautiful, poignant, honest, lyrical, & poetic: On the other the honesty is brutally truthful, real, raw, & gritty, not in the least pretty, romantic, or happy.
I want to shout: "BRAVO", but the wounds presented therein hurt and make me want to hide.
Here there is no privilege, no entitlement, no easy life: only hard-scrabble life lessons of those living in an impoverished & often misogynistic environment.
The authors: I've read several prior to this collection.... only in this collection I did not walk away with a sense of accomplishment or victory; I found no joy, no salvation nor any comfort.
I do not believe that this was written for the faint at heart nor those of us who have had an easy life. These are not "First World Problems" and therein lies the power of this collection.
I'll give this 5 Stars, only for the truth/honesty of its authors & their writings; not because I liked/loved it. ( )
