How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez

3.0

I'm not sure why I didn't love this. I liked each individual section, but I didn't feel like the book as a whole really worked. I really didn't understand the choice to put the stories in backward chronological order. Usually, that is a mechanism to reveal something telling from the past, but that didn't seem to be the case here.
