Description

Dominicana is a story for now, an important one. It's about Ana Canción, a young woman who leaves her home in the Dominican countryside to start a new life in New York City with a man she doesn't love. Ana's marriage is arranged by her family as part of their immigration plan, but it soon becomes clear that this isn't a dream come true. Instead, she finds herself trapped and lonely in a cold six-floor walk-up apartment. But Ana is not one to give up easily. She hatches a reckless plan to escape, only to be persuaded to stay by César, Juan's free-spirited younger brother. This compassionate novel balances the harsh realities of immigration with a refreshing dose of humour, making it addictive reading from start to finish.
