If you enjoy Jhumpa Lahiri’s short stories, or Sandra Cisneros’ ability to portray ordinary Hispanic characters with engaging authenticity and universality, you’ll enjoy Thelma Reyna’s twelve stories in this thoughtful, moving, sensitive book. From the sheer poetry of the title story, to the complex depiction of a comatose woman and her guilt-ridden unfaithful husband, Reyna exposes the private griefs and losses we all experience in life and imbues her motley cast of characters with deep humanity, courage, and perseverance . Reyna’s style is alternately quiet and intense, yet always insightful, poetic, and literary. Have a box of Kleenex and a dictionary by your side. She’ll leave you thinking and discovering multiple layers of meanings in her stories long after you’ve read them. A Hispanic-American author, Reyna’s stories speak to all of us, across ethnicities, age, gender, and social status.
