«¡Yo!» is the novel by Julia Alvarez, published by Plume in paperback (320 pages, in English).
After publishing fiction based on her family's life and angering her own, Yolanda, «Yo», gives the floor to those who feel portrayed: mother, sisters, cousins, teachers and lovers tell their version. Together they compose the portrait of a writer of Dominican origin in search of her identity.
It shares characters with How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, an earlier novel by Julia Alvarez, although the author has noted that it is not a sequel.
A read for those seeking literary fiction about the immigrant experience, Dominican roots and family complexities.
