This is an autobiographical novel by author Esmeralda Santiago. The story tells her trajectory from the country in Puerto Rico to the urbanization in New York. The first chapters give you the elements to understand the family she lives in, the dysfunction around it and poverty. Like “The Oxcart” by René Marqués, Santiago’s novel presents you the process of the Puerto Rican coming out of the country looking for ways to a better life.
