This is the story of a young Puerto Rica girl whose family relocates to Massachusetts with her family. The strength of this novel is the realistic dialogue and relationships between characters over the years. She and her brother struggle with not only adolescent issues but also coping with life in a new country. The backdrop here is the 1960's and 1970's and Vietnam War era. The family struggles especially after her brother finds an unsavory friend and mental health problems. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER The inaugural winner of Simon & Schuster's Books Like Us contest, Elba Iris Pérez's lyrical, cross-cultural coming-of-age debut novel explores a young girl's childhood between 1950s Puerto Rico and a small Massachusetts factory town. Andrea Rodríguez is nine years old when her mother whisks her and her brother, Pablo, away from Woronoco, the tiny Massachusetts factory town that is the only home they've known. With no plan and no money, she leaves them with family in the mountainside villages of Puerto Rico and promises to return. Months later, when Andrea and Pablo are brought back to Massachusetts, they find their hometown significantly changed. As they navigate the rifts between their family's values and all-American culture and face the harsh realities of growing up, they must embrace both the triumphs and heartache that mark the journey to adulthood. A heartfelt, evocative portrait of another side of life in 1950s America, The Things We Didn't Know establishes Elba Iris Pérez as a sensational new literary voice.
