Rain of Gold by Victor Villaseñor
5.0
5***** and a ❤
I read this on a friend's recommendation and was immediately caught up in the story of Villasenor's parents and grandparents. It's nonfiction, but full of old Mexican allegorical stories. There were times when, as I read, I would think "He's telling MY family's story!" After I read it (in English), I bought it for my mother (in Spanish).
UPDATE March 2008
My Hispanic book club chose this book for discussion, and I skimmed through it to refresh my memory
