Dominicana

4.5 stars.

I loved this story about independence, home, motherhood, and what it means to be a family. Ana is a hero we need but don't deserve.

For the Read Harder Challenge #13, Read any book from the Women's Prize shortlist/longlist/winner list. This was maybe a 3.5 star read, but I'll give it 4 for ultimately being optimistic.

This book made me think back to the old New York. Is crazy I am not from DR but I am PR from NYC. And I have a lots of friends who are DR. And this book opened my eyes in so many ways. It remember me of PR a little. The music the food. How my family came to NYC.
