This book was perfect for my daughter who also was having a quinceanera at the same time. My daugther was able to relate to the book. I caught here laughing out loud and said saying "so true". Julia Alvarez is one of my favorite writers as well and her timing in this book was on the spot. I highly recommend this book to all those who are involved in a quinceanera. Patience and lots of practice is the key.
Good background information. Well written. Helps see the quince experience in a different light. She is a fantastic author and this book is no different.
Researches the “sweet fifteen” birthday celebration that heralds a Latin girl’s entrance into womanhood. Reminisces about her own coming of age and discusses the trends she observes in American quinceañeras. Also advocates for a support system for Hispanic teens.
