cemoses's review against another edition
4.0
It was slow in parts but made it made an impact on me. I like Oscar Hijuelos. It made the working person seem very dignfied.

3.0
Nothing much happens in this book--just a whole life time. Lydia is a delightful woman who comes from a privileged Cuban family. She ends up as a cleaning woman in New York City. She has her strengths and weaknesses (why must we repeat the errors of our parents when we raise our own children?). Senor Hijuelos is good story teller.
