Sinopse
Lala Reyes' grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl makers. The striped (caramelo) is the most beautiful of all and the one that makes its way, like the family history it has come to represent, into Lala's possession. The novel opens with the Reyes' annual car trip, a caravan overflowing with children, laughter, and quarrels, from Chicago to "the other side": Mexico City. It is there, each year, that Lala hears her family's stories, separating the truth from the "healthy lies" that have ricocheted from one generation to the next. We travel from the Mexico City that was the "Paris of the New World" to the music-filled streets of Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties, and finally to Lala's own difficult adolescence in the not-quite-promised land of San Antonio, Texas.
Caramelo is a vital, wise, romantic tale of homelands, sometimes real, sometimes imagined. Vivid, funny, intimate, historical, it is a brilliant work destined to become a classic: a major novel from one of our country's most beloved storytellers.
Resumo da Crítica
"Cisneros's irrepressible enthusiasm, inspired riffs on any number of subjects...hilarious accounts of family gatherings, and pitch-perfect bilingual dialogue make this a landmark work." (Publishers Weekly)
"The author's gorgeous prose, on-a-dime turns of phrase, and sumptuous scene-setting make this an unforgettable read." (Booklist)
