It's a good story but bad execution the movie has a better story plot than the book so I suggest to just watch that.
This book really moved me. We picked this book to read in my Chicano Book Club and we all loved it.
I am not a huge fan of all of Julia Alvarez' work, but this particular book was a marvel. How Alvarez could've written the book with just a few historical facts boggles the mind.
