A review by emilythelibrarian23
Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Wings: A Memoir by Margarita Engle

5.0

In my current graduate class of “Literature for Children and Young Adults”, this particular book was a choice for our Poetry genre unit for Novel in Verses. While I chose another book to critically analyze and review ( “Inside Out and Back Again”, by Thanhha Lai) I still wanted to read this one.

My knowledge on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War is very limited, and I am thankful to read Margarita Engle’s childhood experiences growing up in two different cultures and countries. This memoir has encouraged me to search for other memoirs of the author’s experiences during this time period.
