A poignant and nuanced portrait of a Dominican teenager's arranged marriage and immigration to New York City in the 1960s
Angie Cruz Knihy
Angie Cruz píše s pozoruhodnou brilancí o identitě, rodině a hledání místa v drsném světě. Její dílo se noří do složitostí života přistěhovalců, zkoumá témata touhy, ztráty a odolnosti prostřednictvím živých postav a evokujícího jazyka. Cruzův styl je syrový i lyrický a zachycuje jak bolest, tak krásu lidské zkušenosti. Její romány nabízejí hluboce dojemné a provokativní čtení, které čtenáře zanechá zamyšlené.
The act of playing the gèuira serves as a poignant reminder for Angâelica of her cherished connections, particularly with her grandfather in the Dominican Republic. This musical instrument evokes memories of love and loss, highlighting themes of family, heritage, and nostalgia. Through her music, Angâelica navigates her emotions and the distance that separates her from her roots.
