I really wanted to enjoy this book, and felt it was an important topic, but it was very choppy, disjointed, and hard to follow.

This book is well written. It is lyrical. To me, it reads like what it is- an MFA product. It does all the things- non-linear timeline, political novel, referential...it is a fine read, and informative about some Cuban and Salvadorian history and culture, and maybe about the migration experience in the contemporary US. It joins dozens of other contemporary novels like it.

A heart breaking story about pain, loss, oppression, and hardships that overcome by strong women. I enjoyed the numerous POV with location and date chapter headers. I really loved the ending
