Every other month, I feature a Penguin Classic. This month's Penguin Classic is, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. I have a copy of the book to share with a lucky reader, so start reading and enter for your chance to win, click here.
In this month's Classics title, the Garcia sisters--Carla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofia--and their family must flee their home in the Dominican Republic after the discovery of their father's role in an attempt to overthrow the brutal dictator Rafael Trujillo.
They arrived in New York City in 1960 to a life far removed from their existence in the Caribbean. In the wondrous but not always welcoming United States, their parents try to hold on to their old ways as the girls try to find new lives: by straightening their hair and wearing American fashions, and forgetting their Spanish. For them, it is at once liberating and excruciating to be caught between the old world and the new.
