[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]--Due to the political climate in the Dominican Republic during the 1960s, the García family is forced to leave their home. Once in the U.S., they begin a new life in the Bronx, completely different from the privileged status they enjoyed in Santo Domingo. This novel, composed of vignettes told by the four García sisters, describes their journey to self-discovery within this strange new society. Narrated by five women, this Spanish-language audiobook provides listeners with a vocal mosaic that travels through time with the sisters García. Adriana Sananes, Rosi Berrido, Silvia Sierra, Laura Gómez, and Rosemary Almonte form the talented ensemble cast that creates this portrait of the García sisters' struggle to find their own identities within two completely distinctive cultures. J.A.G., trans. L.R.P. 2009 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2008]
