A review by sharppointysticks
Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez

4.0

I intended to give this a 4 star rating because I enjoyed it quite a bit.  However, I was not aware that the story is based on real people (Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta and her husband Carl Andre), nor was I aware that this book caused her family distress.  I am not sure how I feel now that I know that.  The second storyline is also said to be semi autobiographical.  I am still giving it 4 stars because as I got closer and closer to the end I couldn't put it down for wanting to know how the storylines were going to connect.
