Please leave your comments, discussion topics.
Irene sends some themes:
1. Color of skin
2. Family ties
3. Identity
We had an exciting discussion arising from Marie Arana's memoir, thanks to our regulars: Olga, Irene, and Lizzy and our newest member Kathy. We all seemed to agree that Arana's writing style is very impressive. This is Olga's favorite book.
If you like Marie Arana's American Chica you can also read her first novel Cellophane, set in Amazonian Peru.
The next month's author and book is : Jaime Manrique's Latin Moon in Manhattan.
We have also chosen October's book: Carla Trujillo's What Night Brings.
Please send suggestions for our book list. Remember they just have to be US-Latino authors and writing in English.
Also, lets try and get our blog site going, especially those who can't come to our meetings, but would like to join us with their reactions. The September discussion link will be available starting September 1st.

If you like this book you will love her novel Cellophane set in the Amazon jungles of Peru. It will remind you a lot of her family.
