This is such a beautiful multi-generational novel. The juxtaposition of Talia, born in America but raised in Colombia, and Karina, born in Colombia but raised in America, was so telling of the immigrant experience. The character voices were so strong and they all felt very real. The writing was lyrical and truthful. I highly recommend.
