Description
Helena Maria Viramontes brings 1960s Los Angeles to life with her prose in this story of young Latinx women fighting to survive and thrive in a tumultuous world.
Award-winning author Helena María Viramontes offers a profoundly gritty portrait of everyday life in L.A. in this lyrically muscular, artfully crafted novel. The lives of four young women are intertwined as they navigate the urban landscape of the 1960s.
