Description
Dominicana by Angie Cruz is a powerful and poignant novel about the immigrant experience. Set against the backdrop of 1960s New York City, the story follows Ana Canción, a 15-year-old girl who is forced to leave her homeland and start a new life in America. With a marriage arranged by her family, Ana must navigate the harsh realities of immigration and find a way to escape her difficult circumstances. As Ana struggles to come to terms with her new life, she must confront the harsh realities of her situation and the sacrifices she has made for her family. With a refreshing dose of humour and a deep understanding of the human experience, Cruz balances the story's darker moments with a sense of hope and resilience. A story that has resonated with readers from all backgrounds, Dominicana is a testament to the strength and courage of the women who have shaped the lives of their families and communities.
