Synopsis of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
En la década de 1960, la tensión política obliga a la familia García a huir de Santo Domingo hacia el Bronx. Las hermanas alcanzan su madurez en Estados Unidos, adaptándose y prosperando a pesar de las diferencias culturales, las barreras idiomáticas y los prejuicios. Sin embargo, Mami y Papi son más tradicionales y tienen muchas más dificultades para adaptarse a su nuevo país. Para empeorar las cosas, las chicas, frecuentemente avergonzadas por sus padres, encuentran formas de rebelarse contra ellos. Esta novela relata la historia de cuatro hermanas dominicanas que se adaptan a la vida en Estados Unidos, explorando temas de identidad, familia y cultura.
