Magic, sexual tension, high comedy, and intense drama move through an enchanted yet harsh autobiography, in the story of a young girl who leaves rural Puerto Rico for New York's tenements and a chance for success.

A solidly enjoyable read. Like Oscar Wao in that the story is familiar but the telling is enjoyable (although this is memoir, not fiction, and I preferred Oscar Wao.)
