vanesavh 's review for:
The Red Umbrella
by Christina Diaz Gonzalez
This book is magnificent! As an immigrant myself I can relate in so many levels to this book…sadly the political situation since my home country Venezuela is under the regimen of someone who admires and friendship with Castro. We have “missions” working for “the people” we have the faces of Che and Castro painted throughout low income neighborhoods…sadly we have a lot of similar things.
Now on a brighter subject Lucia and Frankie’s struggle with English reminds me so much of my own everyday struggle! I don’t want to give away too much but it definitely had me laughing out loud!
I really enjoyed “The Red Umbrella” and I hope everyone pick up a copy and learn there is much more in a culture than Salsa and Spanish….there are people fighting, people struggling, people trying to make a difference, trying to be accepted and trying to have a better future.
